Description

After World War II, the former allies were saddled with a devastated world economy and traumatized populace.

Soviet influence spread insidiously from nation to nation, and the Atlantic powers-the Americans, the British, and a small band of allies-were caught flat-footed by the coups, collapsing armies, and civil wars that sprung from all sides.

The Cold War had begun in earnest. In The Atlantic and Its Enemies, prize-winning historian Norman Stone assesses the years between World War II and the collapse of the Iron Curtain.

He vividly demonstrates that for every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or Third World triumphs.

Then, suddenly and against all odds, the Atlantic won-economically, ideologically, and militarily-with astonishing speed and finality.

An elegant and path-breaking history, The Atlantic and Its Enemies is a monument to the immense suffering and conflict of the twentieth century, and an illuminating exploration of how the Atlantic triumphed over its enemies at last.
