521 ## - TARGET AUDIENCE NOTE
Target audience note Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 is an extensive history of Europe in the years since the end of the second World War. The author was an authority on European history and it took him nearly ten years to finish this work.<br/>One of the most acclaimed works on contemporary history, this book explores the story of Europe since 1945. This book looks at Europe as a whole, but also covers individual nations in the gradual re - emergence of Europe as an influential power in world affairs. The author examines the increasing divide and conflict between the Western and Eastern Europe during the postwar period and during the times of the Cold War.<br/>He discusses the American role in the rebuilding of Western Europe, particularly with reference to the Marshall Plan. He also examines the resentment this help evoked in Europe, as the aid was a sore remainder of their reduced status in the world.<br/>He traces the different cultural, social, political and economic changes in Europe since the 1940s. He traces the way each nation behind the Iron Curtain slowly broke itself free of communism in the latter part of the twentieth century.<br/>The book also takes a critical look at the role played by Gorbachev in the history of the Soviet Union. Though he was respected in other parts of the world for his reforms, he was not a popular figure within his own country. The author portrays Gorbachev as a man who had little knowledge of Soviet history, as a man who did not have any clear understanding of what he was doing and the impact it had on the people of his own country.<br/>The author also looks at the legacy of Hitler and Stalin on the European countries even after their reign was over. The escalating schism between the East and West in Europe, the rapid changes after the fall of the Soviet Union, the emergence of many Eastern European countries as powerful nations in Europe and the history of the European Union are all covered in this extensive work.<br/>This 960 - page book is one of the most - highly acclaimed works on the history of modern Europe. Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, a paperback reprint edition, was published in 2006 by Penguin USA.
