Starting to read Benn Steil's new book The Marshall Plan: Dawn of the Cold War.
I liked his 2013 book, The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order. This book seems like a logical progression.
Currently in the initial part of the book, where he is discussing the near-simultaneous impact of Kennan's Long Telegram, Churchill's Fulton speech, and Stalin's Feb 9 1946 address at the Bolshoi theatre presenting capitalism and imperialism as the movers of world war.
I have high hopes for this book. If he could make a readable book about Bretton Woods, the subject for this book seems infinitely richer.
