Through analyzing recently declassified documents from American, Russian, and German archives, Ostermann demonstrates in Between Containment and Rollback: The United States and the Cold War in Germany聽how the efforts of Presidents Truman and Eisenhower from 1945 to 1953 during the Cold War era went beyond just building a sustainable democracy in western Germany and containing Soviet influence, but actively worked to undermine Soviet authority in eastern Germany through the use of propaganda, covert operations, economic pressure, and psychological warfare. Ostermann鈥檚 research sheds light on the more complex facets of American foreign policy decisions that took place during this time while also demonstrating how these decisions continue to influence global affairs today.
