NEITHER WAR NOR PEACE The Struggle for Power in the Postwar World
Revised Edition HUGH SETON-WATSON
Of all the political studies of the postwar years, none has succeeded as brilliantly as Hugh Seton-Watson's in defining and analyzing the crux of the East-West conflict, and few political histories have received as much praise on both sides of the Atlantic.

"The selection of his material is admirable, his treatment authoritative, and his conclusions are convincing. This is history at its best." —The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
"The book might be compared to a virtuoso performance by a one-man band. The author combines encyclopedic familiarity with his material with a clear style and a quality that is usually described by that overworked term, a sense of history."—The Louisville Courier-Journal
Although the power of his work derives largely from the probing analysis of the forces bearing on the postwar world rather than discussions of specific contemporary events, Mr. Seton-Watson has written an epilogue for this revised edition giving a brief review of developments during 1959-62. Vissza
