The German Nuclear Question: An International History, 1955–1963

Building on decades of published research and drawing on unexplored, recently declassified archival evidence – including Adenauer’s formerly top-secret Cabinet Files –, an international and multi-disciplinary team of over 20 specialists from seven countries provides fresh insights into the “German nuclear question” at the height of the Cold War. The perspectives presented in this book help make sense why Germany did not become a nuclear power.
