In the decade between 1940 and 1950, the old world order collapsed,
and a new one was created. Old European empires - France, Germany
and the United Kingdom - receded, replaced by two new superpowers -
the Soviet Union and the United States. Beyond Europe, a swath of
new countries was created: India, Communist China, Israel and the
modern Arab states, Indonesia, and the Koreas. But there were
darker shadows too, cast by the onset of the Cold War: the failure
to establish international controls on atomic energy, or the growth
of the national security state and modern intelligence apparatus.
This era also produced some of the most remarkable statesmen of
modern times, including leaders such as Roosevelt, Churchill,
Stalin, Truman, de Gaulle, Nehru and Mao Tsetung; diplomats like
George Marshall, Dean Acheson, Anthony Eden, Ernest Bevin and
Robert Schuman; and international fixers, such as Averell Harriman,
John Maynard Keynes, or Jean Monnet. Their stories form the core
fabric of this book. Richard Crowder examines their shared ambition
to rebuild the world, and launch a second age of globalization.
