The Ambivalent Alliance by Ronald J Granieri
The opening of various personal and party archives over the past few years has now made the entire Adenauer era accessible for historians. Using this material to re-examine existing conventional wisdom about the period, the text traces the roles of Adenauer and the CDU/CSU is shaping the Westbindung.-

"…a splendid book" · Central European History

"This book makes a siginificant contribution to the literature of the Adenauer era ... Based on thorough research in American and German sources, The Ambivalent Alliance is a work of unusual depth and brilliant insights." · German Studies Review
"... impressively researched, lucid, and provocative...accessible to scholars and students alike." · American Historical Review
