Joschka Fischer was a shrewd and visionary politician whose life has been dedicated to societal and governmental reform. Fischer served as German Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor of the German Green Party from 1998 to 2005.
Paul Hockenos' book is both a lively biography of one of Germany's most famous politicians and an insightful alternative history of postwar Germany. It utilizes Fischer as a penetrating lens through which to view Germany's metamorphosis as well as the diverse postwar movements, grassroots campaigns, and civic initiatives that eventually lead to a liberal and democratic Germany after the Holocaust.
Paul Hockenos is an American Berlin-based author and political analyst who has written about Europe since 1989. He is presently the editor of the Internationale Politik - Global Edition, a foreign affairs quarterly published in Germany.
Mr. Hockenos' presentation will be followed by comments from Dr. Stephen F. Szabo, Executive Director of the Transatlantic Academy at The German Marshall Fund of the United States.
