Book
April 1945 : the hinge of history / Craig Shirley.
From the diminutive to the grand, the famous to the unknown, the significant to the unreported, you'll explore how the events of 1945 - in particular, the linchpin month of April - changed the world. This was a time when a hot war turned into an uneasy peace, and finally, into a Cold War; when an era of conventional warfare became an age of transcontinental bombers, rockets, and atomic weapons; when Russian allies became Soviet foes; and when the United States went from arming the world by necessity to protecting the world by need.
