Tales from Penn State Football

Politics of Security focuses on a number of peace movements in Britain and West Germany from the end of Second World War in 1945 to the early 1970s to understand how European societies experienced and reacted to the Cold War. Britons and West Germans had been fierce enemies in the Second World War. After 1945, however, many activists in both countries imagined themselves to be part of a common movement against nuclear armaments. The volume highlights how ideasof security changed over time, how they reflected more general political, social, and cultural trends, and how they challenged mainstream assumptions of politics and government.
