Présentation de l'éditeur
Part I THE PROBLEM I, The Immaturity of the United States THE THIRD WORLD WAR began in A pril, 1944. The details of an incident that then took place have not been disclosed. The incident itself, even less dramatic than the dropping of a small bomb on aM anchurian bridge, was hardly noticed behind the smoke of clashing armies and the rubble of cities falling. The few ships of the remnant of the Greek Navy, operating as a unit under theB ritish Mediterranean Command, were in harbor at A lexandria. The Greek sailors, joined by some Greek soldiers stationed near by, mutinied. It was not a serious revolt, in either numbers or spirit. A few shots were fired, a few lives lost. The British rounded up the mutineers and placed them, for a while, in concentration camps. A few leaders were punished; but soon the trouble was patched up and forgotten. It was recalled briefly by some when, later, a short, bitter civil war broke out in Greece proper. We do not know the details of what happened in the mutiny; but the details, important as they may be for future scholars, are unnecessary. We know enough to discover the political meaning of what happened, and for this details are sometimes an obstacle. The mutiny was led by members of an organization called ELAS. ELAS was the military arm of aG reek political grouping called EAM. EAM was a seemingly heterogeneous alliance of various Greeks with various political and social views. But EAM was directed by the Greek Communist Party. The Greek Communist Party, like all communist parties, is a section of the international communist movement. International communism is led, in all of its activities, from its supreme headquarters within theS oviet Union.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of global politics in the wake of World War II, particularly focusing on the United States' emergence as a dominant world power. The author argues that despite its economic and technological prowess, the United States suffers from a profound "immaturity" in its understanding of international affairs and the nature of power. The author contends that the nation's historical isolation and focus on domestic development have left it ill-equipped to navigate the intricacies of global politics. This naivety is evident in the abrupt shifts and inconsistencies in U.S. foreign policy, as well as its tendency to concede ground to more seasoned political players. Furthermore, the book challenges the popular notion of a unified "one world," highlighting the deep cultural and political divisions that continue to fragment the globe. The rise of totalitarian movements, such as communism, is examined as a critical factor shaping the international landscape. The author emphasizes the need for a more nuanced understanding of these movements and their stark differences from traditional political parties. Ultimately, the book serves as a call for greater political awareness and sophistication in the United States. By shedding light on the nation's shortcomings and the realities of the global power struggle, the author underscores the critical need for a more mature and informed approach to international relations in an era of unprecedented challenges.
