With the collapse of the Soviet Union and its Eastern European
bloc, the reunification of Germany was a major episode in the
history of modern Europe - and one widely held to have been opposed
by that country's centuries-old enemy, France. But while it has
been previously believed that French President Francois Mitterrand
played a negative role in events leading up to reunification, this
book shows that Mitterrand's main concern was not the potential
threat of an old nemesis but rather that a reunified Germany be
firmly anchored in a unified Europe. Updated with a new
introduction and other materials, the book blends primary research
and interviews with key actors in France and Germany to take
readers behind the scenes of world governments as a new Europe was
formed. Tilo Schabert had unprecedented, exclusive access to French
presidential archives and here focuses on French diplomacy not only
to dispel the notion that Mitterrand was reluctant to accept
reunification but also to show how successful he was in bringing it
about.
