Product description

Der Kalte Krieg zwischen den USA und der Sowjetunion - zwischen liberaler Demokratie und Kommunismus - hat für fast ein halbes Jahrhundert die Weltpolitik bestimmt. In diesem "totalen Krieg" wurden auf beiden Seiten massive Anstrengungen unternommen, um Waffenarsenale anzuhäufen, Einflusssphären zu sichern, den Gegner auszuspionieren oder Raumfahrtprogramme voranzutreiben. Bernd Stöver schildert in seinem bewährten Standardwerk die Konfrontation der Supermächte vom Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zur Auflösung der Sowjetunion 1991.

Perhaps this is not the time to be reading about examples of suspicion of mainstream medicine in German history. Monica Black's research into spiritual healers in post-war West Germany could be read as a harbinger of Impfskeptiker to come. However, this would be a bold reading indeed - one of Black's points is in fact that the craze around witch doctoring petered out as Germany began to tackle the history of the Holocaust in the 60s. In general, I thought this was a superb piece of historical research which focuses on Bruno Gröning, a Christian healer who emerged in Herford, a small town in West Germany, before becoming subject of a national cult at the end of 1940s. If I were to criticise Black, I would point to the fact the book really is just the history of Gröning with a few other examples of witch crazes thrown in to back up her narrative. I would also say she can occasionally draw big conclusions from small facts but generally this is an excellent, thought provoking book.
