1945: Year Zero
1945: Year Zero
By John Lukacs
Doubleday, 1978, 314 pp

A very personal history, centering on the great leaders of the year 1945 and on the author, then a young Hungarian and witness to history. He is consistently and provocatively critical of what he takes to have been the sole American ideology, a kind of routine liberalism. Idiosyncratic, informative, unconventional and highly readable.
