Opis

This title provides a vivid account of the conflicts in western Europe, specifically Belgium, at the end of the Second World War; from the Allied liberation to the departure of the Communist ministers from government in 1947.

Recenzje

In this excellent book, Martin Conway asks how Belgium, a nation so sharply divided along linguistic, political, class, and religious lines, managed not only to survive the shocks of World War II but to emerge from the war years largely unchanged in its basic political structures.
