This book unearths how this remarkable transformation derived from a network of liberal American occupation officials, and returned emigres, or remigres, of the Marxist Social Democratic Party (SPD). This network derived from lengthy physical and political journeys. After fleeing Hitler, German-speaking self-professed 'revolutionary socialists' emphasized 'anti-totalitarianism' in New Deal America and contributed to its intelligence apparatus. These experiences made these remigres especially adept at cultural translation in postwar Berlin against Stalinism. This book provides a new explanation for the alignment of Germany's principal left-wing party with the Western camp. While the Cold War has traditionally been analyzed from the perspective of decision makers in Moscow or Washington, this study demonstrates the agency of hitherto marginalized on the conflict's first battlefield. Examining local political culture and social networks underscores how both Berliners and emigres understood the East-West competition over the rubble that the Nazis left behind as a chance to reinvent themselves as democrats and cultural mediators, respectively. As this network popularized an anti-Communist, pro-Western Left, this book identifies how often ostracized emigres made a crucial contribution to the Federal Republic of Germany's democratization"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Berlin (Germany) $x Politics and government $y 1945-1990. 650 0 $a Reconstruction (1939-1951) $z Germany (West) 651 0 $a Germany (West) $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Germany (West) 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Reconstruction (1939-1951) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091544 651 7 $a Germany $z Berlin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204829 651 7 $a Germany (West) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210273 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1945-1990 $2 fast 776 08 $i Also issued online: $a Krause, Scott H. $t Bringing Cold War democracy to West Berlin. $d London ; New York, NY : Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group, 2019 $z 9781351578349 $w (OCoLC)1054129117 830 0 $a Routledge studies in modern European history ; $v 61. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217032138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B542792462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
