Summary:
"At the conclusion of World War II, the Western victors faced two major international problems: what to do about the defeated countries, Germany and Japan, and what to do about an emerging conflict-the Cold War-with another victor, the Soviet Union. Since it involved a lot of interesting conflict, the latter problem has inspired a much greater literature. But it seems quite possible that in time the Cold War contest will be remembered as something of a historical curiosity"-- Provided by publisher.
