The Lost Peace by Robert Dallek
A reinterpretation of the postwar years. It examines what drove Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, De Gaulle, and Truman, among others, the leaders of some of the most powerful and populous nations around the globe, to rely on traditional power politics in spite of the catastrophic violence they had endured.
"An excellent book" -- The New York Times Book Review "A perceptive work... Veteran historian Dallek delivers a shrewd analysis of why world leaders failed to deliver a better world." -- Publishers Weekly "Bound to provoke debate, Dallek's tome should engage the readership for world politics." -- Booklist "Robert Dallek brings to this majestic work a profound understanding of history, a deep engagement in foreign policy, and a lifetime of studying leadership. This seminal work deserves widespread attention." -- Doris Kearns Goodwin
