In 1991, Mueller contacted Bacque and a prolific correspondence began. The letters the two exchangedcollected in Dear Enemy for the first timehotly debate the controversial issues of WW II and the lasting effects it has had. Their discussions include prison camps, Germanys guilt, the Holocaust and, more recently, the alarming rise of the Right in European politics.
