Description

Christians is one of the most successful and powerful businessmen in Europe today. As the chairman of the supervisory board of Deutsche Bank, Christians loaned billions to the Soviets to help them build the Siberian gasline and the Yamal pipeline, among other projects. Criticized sharply by some Europeans, harassed by American administration officials, he has changed the way the Soviets do business--and how they see the West. Filled with such famous figures from recent history as Brezhnev, Andropov, Gorbachev, Carter, Reagan, Haig, Brandt, and Schmidt, these pages improve our understanding of the bitter yet intricate relationship between Germany and the USSR.
