About This Item
Frederick A. Praeger, New York, 1956. Octavo, hardcover, VG in edgeworn, good, price-clkipped black and white dj. 415 pages; Alistair Horne's study of German 1952-1955 is at once an astute and observant reporter's account of the events of those four fateful years and at the same time a sane, balanced evaluation of them. Mr. Horne, for two years the London Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Bonn, builds up a clear and convincing psychograph of the German people and their leader, Konrad Adenauer which makes contemporary Germany far more intelligible to Americans than customarily is. This, one feels, is Germany. Here we are shown a people struggling to free itself from the pathological heritage of Hitlerism while rebuilding a war-ravaged economy from scratch and simultaneously attempting to define a satisfactory relationship to West and East.
