War in the Shadows: Vol. 2 by Robert B. Asprey

“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
