Book Review

Weimar und Amerika: Botschafter Friedrich von Prittwitz und Gaffron und die deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen von 1927 bis 1933 (Weimar and America: Ambassador Friedrich von Prittwitz und Gaffron and German-American relations from 1927 to 1933). By Michael Wala. (Stuttgart: Steiner, 2001. 341 pp. DM 76.00, ISBN 3-515-07865-7.) In German.

Weimar und Amerika builds on existing scholarship that demonstrates how Germany and the United States resolved fundamental policy differences through diplomacy by providing us with detailed information as to how that was accomplished by the representatives of those two countries. It is a wonderfully researched study that utilizes materials from major archival collections in Germany and the United States. Among these are Das Politische Archiv des Auswärtiges Amtes (Bonn), Bundesarchiv (Potsdam), Bundesarchiv-Mil-itärarchiv (Freiburg), the U.S. National Archives, the Hoover Institution (Stanford), and U.S. university collections of private papers. Michael Wala's extensive and careful examination of primary and secondary materials has provided us with insights from the private papers of public officials and diplomats such as the U.S. undersecretary of state William R. Castle Jr., whose papers are voluminous, and the German ambassador to the United States, Friedrich von Prittwitz und Gaffron, whose papers have been dispersed. Prittwitz, however, is sometimes overshadowed by the rich detail of this study.
