Faced with a bankrupt continent torn apart by war twice in a generation, the allies built democratic governments and smothered their ancient hatreds under new institutions like the European Community and nato. They used free trade and galloping technology to grow rich together. They contained a cunning, implacable Soviet Union. And as that evil empire imploded, they managed a soft landing: Germany's unification, nato's expansion eastward, Russia's evolution into a more or less friendly rival, the spread of peace and freedom (imperfectly...
