Peace at all costs : Catholic intellectuals, journalists, and media in postwar Polish-German reconciliation

Zusammenfassung: "Although it was characterized by simmering international tensions, the early Cold War also witnessed dramatic instances of reconciliation between states, as former antagonists rebuilt political, economic, and cultural ties in the wake of the Second World War.
