Summary: The Alliance is the stunning story of the making of the postwar world. In a sweeping narrative filled with drama, crises, and fascinating characters, which sheds new light on such crucial events of our time as the Berlin blockade, the Marshall Plan, the rearmament of Germany, the invasion of Suez, the Cuban Missile crisis, the Berlin Wall crisis, and the critical 1979 decision to deploy a new generation of missiles in Germany, Richar Barnet has written a biography of the most remarkable alliance of modern times. This is a fascinating account of how Germany and Japan, the defeated enemies of the World War II, became America's allies, protectorates, and ultimately commercial rivals, told through the lives of the remarkable figures who made it happen. -- Front flap
