Willy Brandt: a Political Biography by B. Marshall Pdf

Willy Brandt, the first Social Democratic Chancellor of West Germany (1969-1974) was perhaps the most charismatic German leader since Hitler. His life reflects German 20th-century history from the Weimar Republic to the new Germany as a result of unification with the GDR. He was mayor of Berlin when the Wall was built (1961) and as Chancellor he initiated Ostpolitik which indirectly contributed to the fall of the Iron Curtain. As Chairman of the North-South Commission he drew the world's attention to the plight of the Third World. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.

Reconciliation Road by Benedikt Schoenborn Pdf

Among postwar political leaders, West German Chancellor Willy Brandt played one of the most significant roles in reconciling Germans with other Europeans and in creating the international framework that enabled peaceful reunification in 1990. Based on extensive archival research, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of Brandt’s Ostpolitik from its inception until the end of the Cold War through the lens of reconciliation. Here, Benedikt Schoenborn gives us a Brandt who passionately insisted on a gradual reduction of Cold War hostility and a lasting European peace, while remaining strategically and intellectually adaptable in a way that exemplified the ‘imaginativeness of history’.

Willy Brandt by Hélène Miard-Delacroix Pdf

C’est un Allemand qui a traversé le XXe siècle, témoin de ce que l’Allemagne y a fait de pire et acteur de son rachat et de son relèvement – sans jamais être un héros idéal. Willy Brandt est resté un homme de failles et de faiblesses, accusé d’indignité et victime de trahisons, humain en somme. Il fut résistant au nazisme dans les années 1940, anticommuniste durant les années 1950, maire de Berlin-Ouest lors de la construction du Mur en 1961, et , en 1969, le premier social-démocrate à devenir chancelier dans la République de Bonn. Prix Nobel de la paix pour son Ostpolitik, l’image de cet homme à genoux devant le mémorial du ghetto de Varsovie a fait le tour du monde. C’est l’histoire d’un fils de personne qui s’exila tout jeune en Norvège pour combattre la Wehrmacht, et consacra sa vie à la social-démocratie et à son désir d’Europe. Son autorité fut incontestable quand le Mur tomba et que cessa la guerre froide. Cette histoire est aussi celle d’une génération d’Allemands. Beaucoup ont vu en lui ce qu’ils auraient tellement préféré être.
