And as he told the House of Commons, he hoped to secure the co-operation of both ... if this was to happen, then the French had to be assured that there was security in line with the Reparations payment.

- ... either to maintain their allegiance to the Soviet Communist party and support its decisions, or to ally with the Americans, drop out of the party, and support the Allied powers which were fighting against Nazi Germany.

- ... with the implementation of government policy. A country without a cabinet is likely to be made up of opposing bureaucratic empires aiming on increasing their own wealth, this happened in the Hitler state of Nazi Germany.

- ... be reclaimed by his parents 7 years later--a cold, indifferent, and callous individual. The protagonist¹s experiences and observations demonstrate that the Holocaust was far too encompassing to be contained within the capsule of Germany with its sordid concentration camps and sociopolitical upheaval. Even remote and ³backward² villages of Poland were exposed and sucked into the maelstrom of conflict. The significance of this point is that it leads to another ... work. It is this sense of connectedness between cultures, people, and ideas that runs through the book continuously. While the ³backward² nonindustrialized villages of Poland seem at first glance to contrast sharply with ³civilized² Nazi Germany, Kosinski shows that the two were actually linked by arteries of brutality and bigotry. Both cultures used some form of religious ideology to enforce a doctrine of hate upon selected groups whom they perceived to ...

- ... Red Storm Rising is Tom Clancy’s second novel dealing with the former Soviet Union as a potential enemy. This was a time when America’s finest tank and infantry units went on exercises in Germany fully armed with the expectation that the Russians could attack them at any time. This was also a time when the Soviets did the same exercises with the same amount of live ammunition. Therefore there ... the Russian language (Clancy 55). The description of Bob Toland could apply to anyone in the Washington D.C. area or any neighborhood across the U.S. With the ending of world communism, reunification of Germany, and breakup of the Soviet Union, Tom Clancy’s books evolved to present more modern enemies and even several “What if?” situations.

Reportedly, Georghehner later traveled to Frankfurt to promote his new product. In 1987, the city of Frankfurt celebrated the 500th birthday of the hot dog in that city.
