1946 by Victor Sebestyen
The Making of the Modern World
A panoramic narrative of the pivotal year immediately after World War II, showing how 1946 accelerated the breakdown of wartime alliances and set the contours of the modern world: the emergence of Cold War tension, the resurgence of nationalist and liberation movements across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, the unresolved political battles in Europe, displaced populations and economic reconstruction, and high-stakes diplomatic confrontations that together forged the political, social, and ideological map of the second half of the 20th century.
