Based on Interviews originally broadcast, in 1973-75, over Radio Free Europe, this book comprises thirteen dialogs and a three-cornered conversation on the question of East-West d�etente. The four 'baskets' discussed at the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe are analyzed, but the scope of the book extends beyond this to provide an overview of East-West relations in the mid-1970s, from the perspective of that era.
