This German-language edition of “Der fremde Freund: Amerika, eine innere Geschichte” (The Foreign Friend: America, an Inner History) by Klaus Harpprecht offers a unique perspective on the complex relationship between Europe and the United States. Published in 1983, it captures the zeitgeist of the Cold War era, exploring America’s role as both an ally and a cultural force to be reckoned with. Harpprecht, a renowned German journalist and author, brings his keen insights and literary flair to this examination of the American psyche and its impact on the world stage.
Through a combination of historical analysis, cultural commentary, and personal anecdotes, Harpprecht delves into the contradictions and paradoxes that have shaped America’s identity, from its founding principles of freedom and democracy to its struggles with racism, inequality, and imperialism. This copy, while showing some wear on the dust jacket, remains in good condition overall, with clean pages and a secure binding, making it a desirable addition for collectors interested in German perspectives on American history and culture.
