Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 2351 Men and Powers: A Political Retrospective, by Helmut Schmidt translated from the German by Ruth Hein (read 17 Dec 1990) The author, born in 1918, was Chancellor of West Germany from 1974 to 1982. This book was written about 1982, mostly about his experiences with Russia, USA, and China. He is quite a smart man, and I did not find him overbearing. But he certainly did not foresee the unification of Germany--which became a reality Oct 3, 1990--nor the collapse of Russia's Eastern bloc. He has few good things to say of Carter or Reagan, but is laudatory of Jerry Ford! Also Henry Kissinger. The book is not as narrative as Henry Kissinger's books, but it tends more to tell what Schmidt thinks. But it is surprising how, though just published, what he says has become outdated by the tremendous rush of events. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Helmut Heinrich Waldemar Schmidt (German pronunciation: [hlmt mt]; born 23 December 1918) is a German Social Democratic politician who served as Chancellor of West Germany from 1974 to 1982. Prior to becoming Chancellor, he had served as Minister of Defence (1969?72). As Minister of Finance (1972 to 1974), he gained credit for financial policies that consolidated the Wirtschaftswunder (economic miracle), giving Germany the most stable currency and economic position in the world. He had also served briefly as Minister of Economics and as acting Foreign Minister. As Chancellor, he focused on international affairs, seeking "political unification of Europe in partnership with the United States". He was an energetic diplomat who sought European co-operation and international economic co-ordination. He was re-elected chancellor in 1980, but his coalition fell apart in 1982 with the switch by his coalition allies, the Free Democratic Party. He retired from Parliament in 1983, after clashing with the SPD's left wing, who opposed him on defence and economic issues. In 1986 he was a leading proponent of European monetary union and a European central bank. He is now fully retired. On the 9th of April 2010 he became the oldest surviving German Chancellor in history, when he exceeded the lifespan of Konrad Adenauer, who died in 1967, having lived for 91 years and 15 weeks. He received the prestigious Hanns Martin Schleyer Prize in 2013."--Wikipedia. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
