Konflikt und Kooperation zwischen Ost und West

With characteristic thoroughness, drawing on all the pertinent Western and Soviet writings, Wettig gives a review and critique of the concepts which have marked the course of East-West and particularly U.S.-Soviet relations since World War II: deterrence, détente, coexistence, strategic stability and so on. He is honest and fair in describing the various theories and always coolly skeptical in his own evaluation.
