  • Adenauerby Charles Williams

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2001; US$ 50.00

    Critical Acclaim for ADENAUER "A gripping narrative . . . brings to life an intriguing historical figure . . . an enthralling perspective on the processes that shaped the postwar world." --Daily Telegraph (London) "Charts the ironies of Adenauer's complicated life. This is the story of a marathon man, but it is narrated at the pace of a sprinter and with the elegance of a hurdler."--The Times (London) "Lucid and engaging. This is a well-researched and elegantly written volume which deserves a wider readership than the purely political."--The Herald (Glasgow) "A highly readable, thoroughly reliable, intelligently critical life-and-times. . . . This portrait does justice to a man who is often invoked as a prophet of a United States of Europe,... more...

    Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 44.95

  • Germany and the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Unionby A. Miskimmon

  • Bürger der Weimarer Republikby Theodor Heuss; Michael Dorrmann

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2008; US$ 72.00

    Theodor Heuss was an extraordinarily versatile citizen and committed democrat who defended the Weimar Republic through all its crises. From 1918 onwards he worked as an editor and official in the Guild of German Writers. In addition, he was committed to education in citizenship and worked indefatigably as a writer and public speaker. It was above all as a left-wing liberal member of the German Parliament from 1924 onwards that Heuss fought for the beleaguered democracy until the end of the Weimar Republic. These 229 selected letters by Theodor Heuss - most of them published for the first time - reflect the interactions between his exciting biography and the dramatic times and events from the last year of the First World War to the investment... more...

  • Germanyby William Glenn Gray

    The University of North Carolina Press 2003; US$ 55.00

    This volume explores West Germany's efforts to prevent international acceptance of East Germany following World War II, using newly available material. It argues that the isolation campaign was dropped not due to failure but as a result of changes in West German priorities. more...

  • Ludwig Erhardby Alfred C. Mierzejewski

    The University of North Carolina Press 2004; US$ 69.95

    In this biography of one of the most important figures on postwar German history, Alfred C. Mierzejewski examines the life and service of Ludwig Erhard (1897-1977), West Germany's first minister of economics and second chancellor. more...

  • Erzieher zur Demokratieby Ernst Wolfgang Becker; Theodor Heuss

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2007; US$ 56.00

    Theodor Heuss is one of the most significant founders of German politics' new political beginning in Germany. As a liberal party politician and leader of the Württemberg-Baden "Kultministerium" (ministry of culture) he gained respect in all four occupied zones. He faced his most important task during 1948/49 in the Parlamentarischer Rat (parliamentary council), where he made an essential contribution to the creation of the constitution. Both as a journalist and an "educator for democracy", Heuss advocated a moral reformation and the ruthless examination of crimes committed by the German people under the National Socialist regime. more...

  • In der Defensiveby Theodor Heuss; Elke Seefried

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2009; US$ 56.00

    Under the National Socialist regime, Theodor Heuss was rapidly forced onto the defensive. He lost nearly all his public offices and posts, yet as a publicist Heuss continued to defend his liberal convictions. We encounter a member of the educated middle classes who attempted to carve out space for himself in a hostile political environment. These 194 selected letters, most of them previously unknown, reflect his gripping biography and the dramatic course of events from the handing over of power to the National Socialists in January 1933 to the end of the war in 1945. more...

  • Aufbruch im Kaiserreichby Theodor Heuss; Frieder Günther

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2009; US$ 62.00

    The years leading up to World War I were very influential for Theodor Heuss' development. As a school pupil in Heilbronn, a student in Munich and Berlin, and an editor in Berlin and Heilbronn, he made experiences that were to prove decisive for his later career. Besides politics he was also especially involved in the fields of visual art, literature and journalism. He continually advocated a radical departure from the German Kaiser Reich, perceiving it as authoritarian, and was farsighted in his later comments on the disaster of World War I. more...

  • Hochverehrter Herr Bundespräsident!by Theodor Heuss; Wolfram Werner

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2010; US$ 56.00

    Von Anfang an war es dem ersten Bundespräsidenten ein Anliegen, auf viele der Briefe aus der Bevölkerung, die ihn täglich zu Hunderten erreichten, persönlich zu antworten. In Heuss' Briefwechsel mit den Bürgern werden wichtige Themen der Nachkriegsgesellschaft zwischen Zusammenbruch und Wiederaufbau, Restauration und Neubeginn sichtbar. Heuss verfasste seine Briefe individuell und freundlich im Ton, oftmals voller Humor, bisweilen aber auch belehrend oder kämpferisch. Die Schreiben gewähren Einblicke in das Amtsverständnis von Heuss, der damit beispielhaft auf seine Nachfolger wirkte. Präsentiert werden die Briefe aus der Bevölkerung und Heuss' Antwortschreiben Der Briefwechsel bietet... more...
