War and Peace in the Nuclear Age; Interview with Wilhelm Grewe, 1987
Description:
Wilhelm Grewe was a German diplomat actively involved in negotiations relating to post-war Germany. He was Ambassador to Washington from 1958-1962, and Permanent Representative to North Atlantic Council at NATO headquarters from 1962-1971. In this interview Mr. Grewe goes into detail about the nature of Ostpolitik then turns to German views of Nixon and Kissinger's policies. Detente was generally positively received and the SALT process did not engender deep concerns, but Kissinger's notion of the Year of Europe in 1973 turned into a disappointment.
