Reviews

"""This highly worthwhile return to the events of 1989/90 draws extensively upon both new archival releases and new historiographical perspectives to question much of what we thought we knew about the interconnections between the end of the Cold War in Europe and the simultaneous acceleration of the integration process. The outcome is both stimulating and provocative.""--N. Piers Ludlow, Professor of International History, London School of Economics and Political Science ""This rich edited collection of essay challenges accepted understandings of German unification and European integration by analyzing the complex entanglements, conflicts, and cotransformations that impacted countries across Europe as well as the European community during the tumultuous events of 1989--91 and beyond. It is a model of transnational history that builds on recently opened archives and asks important new questions.""--Mary Nolan, Professor Emerita of History, New York University ""This volume is a multifaceted study of the relationship between German unification and European integration in 1989/90 which explores the reactions of Germany's Eastern and Western neighbours to the reconstitution of a German national state and explores the coterminous intensification of the economic dimension of the integration of Europe.""--Konrad H. Jarausch, Lurcy Professor of European Civilization, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"
