As World War II drew to a close, Presidents Roosevelt and Truman shared a vision for the occupation and government of Germany before it returned to an independent nation. Michael Beschloss' The Conquerors details their insistence that Germany never return to the militaristic state that started two world wars. Their plans are complicated by the Soviet occupation of East Germany and the emergence of the truth behind the Holocaust. The lessons of how to govern a country after its defeat in a war are ones that are applicable to today's world.
