Adenauer and Kennedy

the long version

"A classic of US diplomatic history" is how this book has been described by a scholar in the field; the preface was written by W. R. Smyser, who worked for Henry Kissinger as National Security Advisor; the book covers an analysis of the political and economic system of post WWII Germany and of how its differences with the US system, marked the start of diverging paths for both countries in many aspects, not just in foreign relations.
