Drawing from extensive archive material, including unpublished diaries, Bouverie's history gives unprecedented access to the relationships that determined the fate of Europe in the 1940s. Rather than seeing the Allies as a monolith, the text examines the points of agreement and conflict and the disputes that drove and fractured the alliance. An understanding of this difficult alliance enables us to draw the direct link between the Second World War and the Cold War, allowing us to understand the through-line of twentieth-century history.
