Günter Bischof is associate professor of history at the University of New Orleans and coeditor of Eisenhower and the German POWs: Facts Against Falsehood and Eisenhower: A Centenary Assessment.
At the midpoint of the "high" cold war, when most people in North America and Europe thought catastrophic nuclear onslaught was almost inevitable, an unprecedented and unrepeated event took place in Geneva in July 1955. The heads of state from the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and France came together in an attempt at diplomatic dialogue, primarily over the questions of German unification, European security, and nuclear disarmament. Although the summit ended with no tangible results, its ramifications were extensive, and it provided the world with a brief repose from escalating East-West tension.
