Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 2721 Between War and Peace: The Potsdam Conference, by Herbert Feis (read 21 Mar 1995) (Pulitzer History prize in 1961) This gives a person considerable insight into how the Potsdam Conference went. Since this was before the Cold War began and since it is now over, the concerns Feis deals with in this book seem less momentous. I was glad to be done reading this book, which was not super-absorbing. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The author brings to life more clearly than ever before the moment of triumph and the intricate web of negotiations preceding the Potsdam Conference in that period between victory and cold war. His account of the Conference itself- recreating the feelings of tension, the personalities of the leaders, the steady pressures of the Russians-is likely to remain the standard reference. One sees Truman, still uncomfortable in office but determined to get matters settled quickly. There is Churchill, the master of eloquence and maneuver, suddenly replaced by Attlee in the midst of negotiations. And there is Stalin, always suspicious, always pushing for expansion. Between War and Peace shows these leaders trying to evaluate the atomic bomb, Truman hopeful Churchill enthusiastic, Stalin apparently uninterested and noncommittal. Originally published in 1960. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
