From the Inside Flap:
This book traces the transition from war to peace across Europe, from the perspective of five capitals: Berlin, Paris, London, Moscow and Washington. The start of peace is more complex and fascinating than the start of war ? it sets the habits and builds the patterns of life for generations to come. The author weaves politics, ideas, social life, fears, aspirations and harsh realities into a seamless reconstruction of life experienced at a great turning-point of history.
