This revisionist study of Allied diplomacy from 1941 to 1946
challenges Americocentric views of the period and highlights
Europe's neglected role. Fraser J. Harbutt, drawing on
international sources, shows that in planning for the future
Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, and others self-consciously operated
into 1945, not on 'East/West' lines but within a 'Europe/America'
political framework characterized by the plausible prospect of
Anglo-Russian collaboration and persisting American detachment.
Harbutt then explains the destabilizing transformation around the
time of the pivotal Yalta conference of February 1945, when a
sudden series of provocative initiatives, manipulations, and
miscues interacted with events to produce the breakdown of European
solidarity and the Anglo-Soviet nexus, an evolving Anglo-American
alignment, and new tensions that led finally to the Cold War. This
fresh perspective, stressing structural, geopolitical, and
traditional impulses and constraints, raises important new
questions about the enduringly controversial transition from World
War II to a cold war that no statesman wanted.
