Summary:

Distinguished historians and political scientists on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as former German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, make up the contributors to No End to Alliance. The book focuses on some of the most crucial issues in transatlantic relations in the past, present and future, with emphasis on America's relations with West Germany, Britain, France and Scandinavia. While the contributors hold somewhat different views, the emphasis is on the remarkable strength and duration of the Atlantic alliance.
