An exploration of the 1946 debate on whether the negotiation of the post-World War II peace treaties in Europe should have been pursued separately or been approached within the framework of a general European settlement.

The first authoritative account of how Eisenhower's Open Skies proposal came to be, from the perspective of an insider.
