Description
1946 marked a pivotal moment in modern history, as the world began to rebuild and new nations were born. The decisions made at this time continue to shape our world today.
The end of World War II saw the implementation of peace agreements that had far-reaching consequences for global politics and society. In 1946, the Cold War began, Israel was conceived, India's independence was all but confirmed, and Chinese Communists gained a decisive upper hand in their fight for power. This remarkable history is told through archival material and personal testimonies, offering a vivid account of how ordinary people's lives were shaped by these events.
Victor Sebestyen draws on a vast array of sources to explore the complex web of decisions that defined this pivotal year. From Berlin to London, Paris to Moscow, Washington to Jerusalem, and Delhi to Shanghai, this book takes readers on a journey through the lives of those who lived through these momentous events.
