Savage Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of World War II by Keith Lowe explains with attention and clarity how the displacement, violence, and casual disregard for human life, continued well after the end of the war in Europe. And not only the deportation of ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia and East Prussia, which are somewhat known. Lowe goes into great detail about the Greek civil war, where the British and the Americans supported a right wing government to defeat the communists. The book sheds much needed like on a piece of neglected history.
