Great expose of the immediate postwar problems

Lowe's book is an excellent portrayal of the huge problems facing the Allies at V-E day. Millions of displaced people, ethnic conflict, food problems, a huge, utterly-defeated army. Read this book in concert with "In the Ruins of Empire" by Ronald Spector to contrast the problems in Europe with the equally daunting, but completely different problems faced by the Allies in Asia. There, for instance, they faced millions of Japanese troops many of whom (particularly in Korea, Manchuria, Indochina) had not lost a battle and came from a culture that did not accept surrender. Two great books to read one after the other.

Views of a New Generation of Historian

A new generation of historians is looking over what for the older generation is a mainly settled and agreed view of World War II and its aftermath. A new generation of European historians not hindered by psychological and nationalist baggage, however subtle, is taking a new look at the 20th century. Lowe's insights are very interesting. Presented as a part of a continuum of hatred and resentments stretching from at least the 19th century onward, Lowe's book leaves you with the recognition the past is continuing into the present as Faulkner observed, it isn't even past.
