Beskrivning

Guido Goldman was one of the most distinguished protagonists of the reintegration of Germany into the international community after the defeat of Nazism in 1945. Later he helped establish the German Marshall Fund and created Harvard University’s Center for European Studies as one of the pre-eminent research institutes in the world. His large network of friends and interlocutors included Willy Brandt and Helmut Kohl, Henry Kissinger and Ronald Reagan, and Harry Belafonte and Marlene Dietrich. They all come alive in Martin Klingst’s careful reconstruction of Goldman's life.
