	Amazon.com: Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945: Books: Tony Judt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		His book focuses on cultural and intellectual life rather than the social experiences of factory workers or peasants, but it would probably be impossible to encompass all of it in one volume.
		The three main themes of this account of postwar Europe is the death of ideology, the role individuals in shaping history, and the birth of the European Union and a new way of life that rejects the extremes of Soviet Communism and American Capitalism.
		For those of us raised in the postwar world and who only experienced its history from movies, television, or less comprehensive histories, Judt's work is not only impressive its scope, but truly insightful and useful as well.

	Notes From Ground Zero: Power, Equity and Postwar Reconstruction in Two Eras (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Studies of postwar Japan have paid insufficient attention to the intimate relationship between military power and the reconstruction and reform processes that were the hallmark of the occupation.
		In the immediate postwar years both the U.S. and Soviet leadership were persuaded of the efficacy of social reform and the capacity of the developmental state to heal the wounds of war and guide nations on the path to economic growth and prosperity.
		Postwar reconstruction is, of course, intimately bound up with the fact that the U.S. has been involved as a major player in six wars and occupations in a twelve year span, five of them involving Muslim countries.

	The Jews in Plans for Postwar Germany - David Bankier
		In the postwar plans of both of them - the exiles and the conservative opposition - the Jews were considered a foreign body which should not be reintegrated in a future German society, but given a territory beyond the borders of Europe.
		The postwar planning of some of them was based on accepted assumptions of Jewish "otherness" prevalent in the 1930s and 1940s and rejected the return of Jews to Germany in a postwar arrangement.
		Their solutions for postwar German Jews are typical of those who understood that since the state was to be both German-Christian and constitutional, Jews who wished to be citizens and maintain their Judaism would have to accept an inferior status.

	Sample Chapter for Self, R.O.: American Babylon: Race and the Struggle for Postwar Oakland.
		The postwar garden had become, in their view, an "urban plantation." At the same time, suburban homeowners worked to monopolize and segregate the assets of postwar prosperity, efforts that culminated in 1978's Proposition 13, the nation's first and most influential tax limitation measure.
		Across the postwar United States, as cities were remade by two of the most extensive internal migrations in the nation's history--the migration of southern African Americans to the cities of the Northeast, Midwest, and West and the mass suburbanization of whites--the federal government did not stand idly by.
		Indeed, postwar suburbanization had the effect of creating a proto-class, the members of which might have had dissimilar political loyalties (as well as different incomes, jobs, etc.) but could be united on the single issue of property taxation.

	Sample Chapter for Biess, F.: Homecomings: Returning POWs and the Legacies of Defeat in Postwar Germany.
		Yet at the same time, this perspective tends to downplay the considerable material and ideological costs of postwar stability, and it also underestimates the significant fissures between public affirmation and acquiescence and a persistent private unease that was constitutive for both German postwar societies.
		The goal of a "postwar" history, then, is to identify the aftereffects of those experiences of violence--both active and passive--and to analyze coping strategies of both individuals and societies at large.
		Postwar confrontations with the legacies of war and defeat were inextricably intertwined with parallel strategies of making East and West German citizens on opposite sides of the Cold War.

		As the postwar era opened, both the Army and the Navy were beginning the interminable investigations that augured a change in policy.
		The severity of inevitable postwar cuts in fl employment was mitigated by continued prosperity and the sustained growth of American industry.
		Postwar industrial development created thousands of new upper-level jobs, allowing many fl workers to continue their economic advance without replacing white workers and without the attendant development of racial tensions.

	Amazon.ca: Postwar: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Calling 1945-1989 "an interim age," Judt examines what happened on each side of the Iron Curtain, with the West nervously inching forward while the East endured the "peace of the prison yard" until the fall of Communism in 1989 signaled their chance to progress.
		Though he proposes no grand, overarching theory of the postwar period, Judt's massive work covers the broad strokes as well as the fine details of the years 1945 to 2005.
		This is the best history we have of Europe in the postwar period and not likely to be surpassed for many years.

	"Wartime and Postwar Dutch Attitudes Toward the Jews: Myth and Truth" by Manfred Gerstenfeld
		The one-sided Dutch "resistance image" was heavily propagated in the postwar period.
		The immediate postwar attitude of the Dutch government reflected a coldness and abuse of power against this vulnerable community in many other areas.
		Aalders, who gave a lecture at an international symposium organized by the Center for Research on Dutch Jewry in November 1998 in Jerusalem, was heavily criticized by the public for focusing on the question of whether the postwar restitution laws were correctly applied, rather than emphasizing their morally doubtful character.

	Postwar by Tony Judt: Reviews
		So many subjects are adroitly dealt with, from the truly drastic transformation of southern European countries to the rapid decline of religion.
		Aside from its sheer brickish heft, it is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, authoritative, and, yes, readable postwar history.
		Not all historians will agree with every one of Judt's assertions, but this book is certain to be a major addition to postwar European studies.

		Moreover, Japan's postwar constitution, promulgated on November 3, 1946 and put into effect on May 3, 1947, brought revolutionary changes to a country with very different cultural, legal, and socioeconomic conditions and traditions.
		First, although Japan was the first country in Asia to have a constitution in the late nineteenth century, the prewar Meiji Constitution established a constitutional monarchy and proclaimed the sovereignty of the emperor as a divine living god.
		Applying a rational choice model and principal-agent theory to Japanese postwar politics, J. Mark Ramseyer and Frances McCall Rosenbluth (1993) stirred a controversy among Japanologists, particularly with "culturalists" over their sweeping generalizations and failure to closely analyze the actual operation of institutions like the judiciary.

	Forging the "Postwar Consensus" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		For those in the policy elite who became known in the postwar period as "commercial Keynesians," such as the liberal businessmen of the Committee for Economic Development (CED), technological innovation was a natural outcome of private investment, which in an ideal fiscalist state would be regulated by macroeconomic policy.
		The new relationship between antitrust and patent law in the postwar period, for instance, to which many large corporations felt obliged to respond, derived from an reform liberal initiative of the late 1930s that was blocked by Congressional conservatives and shunted into the courts.
		More generally, the notion that the "postwar consensus" is a hybrid of several visions of the state ought to dissuade analysts from positing radical counterfactuals about what might have happened and, by extension, harboring excessive expectations about what could happen.

	Postwar - Tony Judt - Penguin Group (USA)
		A magnificent history of postwar Europe, East and West, by arguably the subject's most esteemed historian.
		Every country has its chance to play the lead, and although the big themes are superbly handled—including the cold war, the love/hate relationship with America, cultural and economic malaise and rebirth, and the myth and reality of unification—none of them is allowed to overshadow the rich pageant that is the whole.
		Vividly and clearly written for the general reader; witty, opinionated, and full of fresh and surprising stories and asides; visually rich and rewarding, with useful and provocative maps, photos, and cartoons throughout, Postwar is a movable feast for lovers of history and lovers of Europe alike.

	Soviet Tactical Aviation in the Postwar Period (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The most important changes in operational art in the immediate postwar period were a determination of the need for deeper strikes into the enemy defense and an accelerated pace of advance, which was to be achieved by the total mechanization of all ground combat arms and the further development of airborne forces.
		The fourth period of postwar doctrinal development can be seen in the Soviet approach to a conventional solution to the problem of using military power in the context of strategic nuclear parity.
		In the postwar period, the machines designed by Igor Sikorsky in the United States served as an inspiration for the first generation of Soviet machines, and by the 1950s the Soviets were giving substantial attention to the military applications of helicopter technology, including heavy-lift vehicles such as the Yak-24 and Mi-6.

	Postwar Estrangement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Western democracies and the Soviet Union discussed the progress of World War II and the nature of the postwar settlement at conferences in Tehran (1943), Yalta (February 1945), and Potsdam (July-August 1945).
		After the war, disputes between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies, particularly over the Soviet takeover of East European states, led Winston Churchill to warn in 1946 that an "iron curtain" was descending through the middle of Europe.
		A final phase during the late 1980s and early 1990s was hailed by President Mikhail Gorbachev, and especially by the president of the new post-Communist Russian republic, Boris Yeltsin, as well as by President George Bush, as beginning a partnership between the two states that could address many global problems.

	eBay - Book: Postwar (ISBN: 1594200653) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		POSTWAR is a political, economic, and social history, and Judt handles all with equanimity, whether he is describing the Hungarian uprising, the 1960s student uprisings, Konrad Adenauer, movies and historical memory, or why the publication of Solzhenitsyn's ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVITCH mattered.
		In POSTWAR, Judt clarifies the events of Europe's recent past and suggests, at the book's end, that "the 21st century might yet belong to Europe." POSTWAR was selected by the New York Times as one of the 10 Best Books of 2005.
		It's a remarkable story, and, fortunately, POSTWAR is a remarkable book....The writing is vivid; the coverage--of little countries as well as of great ones--is virtually superhuman; and above all the book is smart.

	Germany - Postwar Christianity
		The postwar division of Germany left roughly equal numbers of Roman Catholics and Protestants in West Germany.
		Many others of the postwar generations have accepted the values of popular culture and consumerism and have left the churches because they no longer seem significant.
		Millions of Germans of all ages, however, continue to profess a religion for a variety of reasons, among them strong religious beliefs, social pressure to conform, preservation of educational and employment opportunities, support for essential church social-welfare activities, and (in the western Länder) the enduring appeal of Christian rituals surrounding baptism, marriage, and burial.

	Sample Chapter for Fehrenbach, H.: Race after Hitler: Black Occupation Children in Postwar Germany and America.
		As is evident from postwar testimony, Germans felt it far preferable to be occupied by the Americans or British than by the Soviets or (later) the French.
		They commented upon the striking absence of racism in postwar German society: the relative friendliness of the German population and their ability to move about without undue restriction and to socialize with anyone they pleased regardless of race.
		Rather, at the level of the street, Germans were absorbing the postwar lesson--inadvertently taught by their new American masters--that democratic forms and values were consistent with racialist, and even racist, ideology and social organization.

		The agencies that have been awarding these postwar contracts have in turn become more organized with contract information and more responsive to requests from the media; some agencies have even increased the amount of information available to the general public.
		Although agencies are providing more information regarding the postwar contracts awarded for work in Iraq, there is scant information available to the general public—just as there was months ago—on contracts for work in postwar Afghanistan.
		This lack of information about postwar Afghanistan is also notable in the U.S. government's examinations of the contracting process.
