From Embargo to Ostpolitik Reviews

'Angela Stent's book is a scholarly and extremely readable and lively treatment of a subject which every reader of the daily press will acknowledge as being most timely. It illuminates the intricate connection between politics and economics in the relations between the Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany. Hence the book is of great importance to anyone interested in the current dilemmas of US foreign policy particularly but not exclusively as regards Europe.' Adam B. Ulam, Director, Russian Research Center, Harvard University
'Provides penetrating new insights into German-Russian relations through the political-economic prism.' John P. Hardt, Associate Director, Congressional Research Service of the U.S. Congress
'Will be the standard work on recent West German-Soviet economic relations and their political implications.' William E. Griffith, Ford Professor of Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
