“No war in history solved so much and yet so little as World War II. No war so suddenly defeated ambitions of either victors or vanquished. No war opened such a Pandora’s box, not to release winds but, rather, hurricanes of political, social, and economic change, which hurled existing structures into turmoil, confusion, and battle—what Cyril Falls, a lifelong student of warfare, has aptly called sequelae—morbid conditions following disease.”
-Robert B. Asprey, 1975
