With the end of the Second World War, a new world was born. The
peace agreements that brought the conflict to an end implemented
decisions that not only shaped the second half of the twentieth
century, but continue to affect our world today and impact on its
future. In 1946 the Cold War began, the state of Israel was
conceived, the independence of India was all but confirmed and
Chinese Communists gained a decisive upper hand in their fight for
power. It was a pivotal year in modern history in which countries
were reborn and created, national and ideological boundaries were
redrawn and people across the globe began to rebuild their lives.
In this remarkable history, the foreign correspondent and historian
Victor Sebestyen draws on contemporary documents from around the
world - including Stalin's personal notes from the Potsdam peace
conference - to examine what lay behind the political
decision-making. Sebestyen uses a vast array of archival material
and personal testimonies to explore how the lives of generations of
people across continents were shaped by the events of 1946. Taking
readers from Berlin to London, from Paris to Moscow, from
Washington to Jerusalem and from Delhi to Shanghai, this is a vivid
and wide-ranging account of both powerbrokers and ordinary men and
women from an acclaimed author.
