Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. World War II ended in 1945. Its machinery of power did not.In The War That Never Ended, Dr. Alden Cross follows the hidden strategic systems that carried the world from blitzkrieg and codebreaking to occupation, containment, proxy war, and nuclear deterrence. Drawing on declassified reports, operational plans, diplomatic records, bombing surveys, and postwar studies, this book examines what governments believed, what they misunderstood, and why some victories created greater dangers than the conflicts they ended.From the fall of France and Operation Barbarossa to the Berlin Airlift, Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cross tests familiar claims against the documentary record. The result is a clear, unsentimental account of how fuel, shipping, intelligence, industry, alliances, and human judgment shaped half a century of war.For readers who want evidence rather than legend, this book reveals the decisions behind the battles-and the strategic inheritance that still governs global power.
