Content:
"As a participant in many of the events he writes about in Experiment in Occupation, Arthur Kahn traces the developments leading to this near breakdown and offers a richly detailed account of the process by which the fight against Nazism came to be transformed into the Cold War. He reveals how those in the Military Government of Germany who were dedicated to carrying out the war aims promulgated by Roosevelt and Eisenhower for a thorough democratization of Germany were ultimately defeated in their confrontation with powerful elements in the Military Government and in Washington who were more intent upon launching a preemptive war against the Soviet Union than upon the eradication of Nazism and German militarism." "Kahn's portrayal of events in postwar Germany provides warnings for current and future American experiments in foreign occupation."--BOOK JACKET.
