Defense and Detente: U.S. and West German Perspectives on Defense Policy

This book examines the different approaches to the policy of "Defense and Detente" between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany.

The chapters identify the international and domestic factors that have driven American and West German security policy and review how foreign and defense policies and programs have changed over the Post-War period. Finally, the authors make policy recommendations to bring the two countries approaches closer together.

Defense And Detente will be of interest to scholars of foreign policy and United States and West German international relations.
