Studies of the Cold War transcend a narrow focus on four decades of
superpower rivalry, recognizing that leaders and governments
outside of Washington and Moscow also exerted political, economic,
and moral influence well beyond their own borders. One striking
example was the Ostpolitik of Chancellor Willy Brandt, which not
only redefined Germany's relation with its Nazi past but also
altered the global environment of the Cold War. This book examines
the years 1969-1974, when Brandt broke the Cold War stalemate in
Europe by assuming responsibility for the crimes of the Third Reich
and by formally renouncing several major West German claims, while
also launching an assertive policy toward his Communist neighbors
and conducting a deft balancing act between East and West. Not
everyone then, or now, applauds the ethos and practice of
Ostpolitik, but no one can deny its impact on German, European, and
world history.
