Summary This volume contains interviews that focus on matters of decisive importance to Germany and the rest of the world in the 1990s : German unification; explosive debates about interpretations of German history, Germany's asylum policies, and the Nazi era; efforts to create a cooperative, peaceful Europe; and the significance of the Persian Gulf War.
