Contemporary history from the inside: Joschka Fischer's memories of dramatic turning points in contemporary history. The events of September 11, 2001, marked a turning point that presented the German government and then Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer with dramatic challenges. The initial response to the attacks in New York was the war in Afghanistan, which continues to influence German politics today. The same applies to the U.S. war against Iraq, which the red-green coalition opposed and which led to intense conflicts between the U.S. and Germany. Joschka Fischer provides an insider's account of the dramatic background of this rift and the difficult balancing act between his opposition to the war and Germany's role as the United States' most important ally in Europe. Many other significant political issues of today also originated during the years of the red-green government, whether it be the debates over the operational lifetimes of nuclear power plants, Agenda 2010 and the Hartz IV laws, the looming nuclear armament of Iran, the crises of the European Union, and not least the controversies surrounding the Foreign Office's history during the Nazi era, whose critical examination was initiated by Joschka Fischer and led to shocking results.
