270 Pages Indexed. Heavy highlighting throughout entire book. With the end of the Cold War, and the prospect of federal Europe, this is a time to reassess the processes by which postwar Europe was reborn. How each western European country constructed its own version of the affluent society and the welfare state. Out of the devastation of 1945 is the subject of this ambitious study. The author gives an account of the practicalities of reconstruction - how it was done, what it cost, who paid for it and what they hoped to receive. He throws light on the distance between the wartime dream of Europe. He also makes clear how it was possible that, devastated by two world wars capitalism in Europe could recover within a decade to flourish as never before. This book examines the issues for the subsequent history of Europe. How was it possible for the ruined nations of 1945 to keep up ever more costly defences in the Cold War and yet carry through a revolution in welfare and consumption? As the more prosperous part of Europe became ever more dependent on the United States, how did the comprehensive projection of American power influence the reorganisation? In synthesising the main political, strategic and economic developments from 1945 to the mid-50s, the author makes use of recent research to test older interpretations of the period. He shows that more was changing than just the economy. Progress was defined more in economic terms. It set the terms for competition with the Soviet system, and ushered in the era of the economic miracles. The author is Associate Professor of International History at the University of Bologna, Italy. Cover: A new more productive breed of poultry, imported into war-devastated Europe from the US, makes its appearance on the shoulder of a TWA hostess in this publicity photograph.…
