The former West German chancellor Helmut Schmidt grew up as a
devout Anglophile, yet he clashed heavily and repeatedly with his
British counterparts Wilson, Callaghan, and Thatcher during his
time in office. Helmut Schmidt and British-German Relations looks
at Schmidt's personal experience to explore how and why Britain and
Germany rarely saw eye to eye over European integration, uncovering
the two countries' deeply competing visions and incompatible
strategies for post-war Europe. But it also zooms out to reveal the
remarkable extent of simultaneous British-German cooperation in
fostering joint European interests on the wider international
stage, not least within the transatlantic alliance against the
background of a worsening superpower relationship. By connecting
these two key areas of bilateral cooperation, Mathias Haeussler
offers a major reinterpretation of the bilateral relationship under
Schmidt, relevant to anybody interested in British-German
relations, European integration, and the Cold War.
