GERMANY AND THE UNITED STATES IN THE AGE OF TERROR

Abenheim analyzes that the world order anchored by the US-German relationship has integrated Germany into Europe without more bloodshed, brought the transformation of communist Europe, and visited prosperity on a part of the world that could easily have been embroiled in strife. That world order, however, is being severely eroded by misunderstanding and rhetoric on all sides. He concludes that a statecraft is needed that comprehends the nature of military power and what a given country can and cannot do to defend itself.
