Synopsis

This book examines the complex work of the United States' State Department in the aftermath of World War II. The text begins by exploring the substantial role the Department played in developing the Nuremberg Trials, their successes, and lasting impact. The author details the complexities of re-establishing Germany and Japan and the ways that played out in the emerging Cold War. It also examines the US's evolving position on Israel and its role in the Middle East, showing how this affected America and the region, while also examining the economic and diplomatic tools of the Marshall Plan and the Truman Doctrine. The author concludes by showing how the CIA, overt and covert operations and their complexities became central to US foreign policy by the late 1940s. This deeply researched study fills an important gap, telling the story of the State Department as it grappled with the challenges of the post-World War II era and the origins of the Cold War.
