An exploration of the 1946 debate on whether the negotiation of the post-World War II peace treaties in Europe should have been pursued separately or been approached within the framework of a general European settlement.

Written by an insider, this is the only published firsthand account of the debate within the Eisenhower administration after Stalin's death over whether or not the United States should propose and actively promote the reunification of Germany.

The first authoritative account of how Eisenhower's Open Skies proposal came to be, from the perspective of an insider.
