Summary
Germany's Foreign Policy of Reconciliation examines the Federal Republic's external relations with four former enemies-France, Israel (the Jewish people), Poland, and Czechoslovakia/the Czech Republic-as it achieved international rehabilitation after the Holocaust. The book develops the concept of international reconciliation while illustrating its manifestation in practice, blending and balancing moral imperatives with pragmatic interests. Germany emerges as a model for how the bitterest of former international enemies can reconcile
