Description
Year Zero: A History of 1945
This book explores the immediate aftermath of World War II, examining the seven months that followed the surrender of the Axis powers. Drawing on hundreds of eyewitness accounts and personal stories, it delves into the complex and often contradictory world of the post-war era.
From the fate of Holocaust survivors and the formation of the state of Israel, to the incipient civil war in China and the allied occupation of Japan, Year Zero sheds light on a pivotal moment in history when destruction gave way to new beginnings.
