In this lively and ambitious book, James Sheehan charts what is
perhaps the most radical shift in Europe's history: its
transformation from war-torn battlefield to peaceful, prosperous
society. For centuries, war was Europe's defining narrative,
affecting every aspect of political, social, and cultural life. But
afterWorldWar II, Europe began to reimagine statehood, rejecting
ballooning defense budgets in favor of material well-being, social
stability, and economic growth.
Where Have All the Soldiers Gone? reveals how and why this
happened, and what it means for America and the rest of the
world.
With remarkable insight and clarity, Sheehan covers the major
intellectual and political events in Europe over the past one
hundred years, from the pacifist and militarist movements of the
early twentieth century and two catastrophic world wars to the fall
of the BerlinWall and the heated debate over Iraq.This
authoritative history provides much-needed context for
understanding the fractured era in which we live.
