Description
“Stripping away those categories of external and domestic policy which until now have created a strange and untenable bifurcation in the Federal Republic’s history that has ignored the role of society and culture in shaping modern Germans, Browder has vividly illustrated the many faceted sides of the American occupation as well as its significance for Germans. . . . he is especially informative about some hidden areas such as military spending, consumerist culture, and interpersonal contact. . . . Professor Browder, who has consulted all the relevant secondary literature in English and German, documents his study principally by oral interviews with Germans who lived through the times to which he is referring, and with extensive archival research in the armed service documents centers in Germany where records different from those of the civilian command are kept.” – John F. Flynn
