Description
The Marshall Plan: Dawn of the Cold War By Benn Steil, Oxford University Press, 2018, 606 pages, hardcover. In the aftermath of World War II, the United States launched a massive effort to rebuild Western Europe, driven by a vision at odds with European and American self-conceptions. This ambitious undertaking would confront Europeans and Americans alike with a new reality, shaping the course of world events for decades to come. Benn Steil's book brings together fascinating archival material from America, Russia, Germany, and other European sources to tell the story behind the birth of the Cold War and the U.S.-led liberal global order. The narrative focuses on the critical years 1947-1949, highlighting key episodes such as the Prague coup, the Berlin blockade, and the division of Germany. The forces that split Europe in two after World War II have reasserted themselves since the collapse of the Soviet Union, according to Steil's gripping account.
