A Cold War over Austria : the struggle for the state treaty, neutrality, and the end of east-west occupation, 1945-1955 / Gerald Stourzh and Wolfgang Mueller ; translated by Cynthia Peck.
"For the new English edition, Gerald Stourzh has been joined by Wolfgang Mueller as co-author. The two authors thoroughly revised the fifth German-language edition, in part by deleting materials but also by adding new ones. Wolfgang Mueller has added information from a vast amount of new literature on the Cold War, Soviet foreign policy and Austrian affairs, as well as newly available archival materials in Russia, in particular the Archives of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archives for Political History and the Russian State Archives for Contemporary History."--ECIP Preface.
