- Summary:
-
"In this book, James Sheehan charts what is perhaps the most radical shift in Europe's history: its transformation from wartorn battlefield to peaceful, prosperous society. For centuries, war was Europe's defining narrative, affecting every aspect of political, social, and cultural life. But after World War II, Europe began to reimagine statehood, rejecting ballooning defense budgets in favor of material well-being, social stability, and economic growth. Sheehan reveals how and why this happened, and what it means for America and the rest of the world."--BOOK JACKET.
