Außenpolitik vor Ausbruch der Berlin-Krise (Sommer 1955 bis Herbst 1958)

Published for the first time, Khrushchev’s secret conversations, consultations, and notes document his attitude toward the West. A key issue in the period under consideration was the fate of East Germany. Other important issues include the disarmament overtures made toward the US/NATO, efforts to form an “anti-imperialist” front with the nations of the Third World, and Khrushchev’s support for anti-colonialist forces.
