Introduction
A vivid account of a year regarded as one of history’s most fateful, as the escalated global conflict drew to a tragic close.


Outline
America was now the richest nation in the world; Britain was victorious, but bankrupt; the Soviet Union had been devastated but was ideologically strong and committed to the victory of its brand of communism. The cooperation of the war years and the hopes of its continuation faded and Europe faced years of extreme hardship. The forces that were to shape international politics for the next fifty years emerged in 1945.
