Adenauer's heirs : the CDU/CSU from détente to reunification - Granieri, Ronald J. (New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2026)
'Adenauer's Heirs' is a history of the Federal Republic of Germany from the 1960s to the 1990s that focuses on the role of the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) in shaping West Germany's place in a rapidly changing domestic and international environment. It reveals how debates within the CDU/CSU helped shape West Germany's role in both NATO and the emerging European Union, culminating in reunification, and considers the legacy of those historical developments for Germany's current and future role in the world.
