While that book painted a picture of Europe in all its horror as WWII was ending, \u003ci\u003eThe Fear and the Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e looks at all that has happened since, focusing on the changes that were brought about because of WWII--simultaneously one of the most catastrophic and most innovative events in history. It killed millions and eradicated empires, creating the idea of human rights, and giving birth to the UN. It was because of the war that penicillin was first mass-produced, computers were developed, and rockets first sent to the edge of space. The war created new philosophies, new ways of living, new architecture: this was the era of Le Corbusier, Simone de Beauvoir and Chairman Mao. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But amidst the waves of revolution and idealism there were also fears of globalization, a dread of the atom bomb, and an unexpressed longing for a past forever gone. All of these things and more came about as direct consequences of the war and continue to affect the world that we live in today. \u003ci\u003eThe Fear and the Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to look at all of the changes brought about because of WWII. Based on research from five continents, Keith Lowe's \u003ci\u003eThe Fear and the Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e tells the very human story of how the war not only transformed our world but also changed the very way we think about ourselves.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEITH LOWE is the author of the critically-acclaimed \u003ci\u003eInferno: The Devastation of Hamburg 1943\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSavage Continent, \u003c\/i\u003ean\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003einternational bestseller and the winner of both the Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History (2013), and Italy's prestigious Cherasco History Prize (2015).
