{"product_id":"the-atlantic-and-its-enemies-isbn-9780465028436","title":"The Atlantic and Its Enemies","description":"After World War II, the former allies were saddled with a devastated world economy and traumatized populace. Soviet influence spread insidiously from nation to nation, and the Atlantic powers -- the Americans, the British, and a small band of allies -- were caught flat-footed by the coups, collapsing armies, and civil wars that sprung from all sides. The Cold War had begun in earnest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic and Its Enemies\u003c\/i\u003e, prize-winning historian Norman Stone assesses the years between World War II and the collapse of the Iron Curtain. He vividly demonstrates that for every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or Third World triumphs. Then, suddenly and against all odds, the Atlantic won -- economically, ideologically, and militarily -- with astonishing speed and finality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An elegant and path-breaking history, \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic and Its Enemies\u003c\/i\u003e is a monument to the immense suffering and conflict of the twentieth century, and an illuminating exploration of how the Atlantic triumphed over its enemies at last.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891832385765,"sku":"NP9780465028436","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/ef9db743-94ec-43b4-97b8-ab0200fd89e3.jpg?v=1767897352","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-atlantic-and-its-enemies-isbn-9780465028436","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
