Reviews
'Trading Power is the single best and most complete analysis of West Germany's rise to dominance in cold war Europe. Based on extraordinarily in-depth research, Gray skillfully and clearly tells the story of the diplomatic, political, and economic development of German power within the European community, the Atlantic alliance, and the international system. This history is essential to understanding Germany's significance in shaping the liberal world order and its changing position in today's Europe. It is a must-read for policymakers and students alike. A real triumph!' Thomas A. Schwartz, author of Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography 'This is a formidable book and one that promises to make an impact.' Nick Ostrum, Europe Now Journal

Schwartz, author of Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography 'This is a formidable book and one that promises to make an impact.' Nick Ostrum, Europe Now Journal 'The book is supported by sources and facts in the most pleasing way and resists the trend towards theorizing in cultural studies. It will be the benchmark for interpretations of West German foreign policy for a very long time, far beyond the narrower twelve-year period under study.' Jan-Otmar Hesse, H-Soz-Kult 'Readers will appreciate the intricate analysis of a unique foreign policy path facing multiple challenges from terrorism to the first oil shock. … Recommended.' G. P. de Syon, Choice
