Flashpoint Trieste by Christian Jennings
A compelling account of how the post-war struggle over Trieste became an early test of diplomacy, military power and competing political ideologies.
This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in history, politics, conflict and the moments that quietly changed the direction of the modern world. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.
Written by Christian Jennings, Flashpoint Trieste: The First Battle of the Cold War explores the struggle over the strategically important port city during the years immediately following the Second World War.
The book examines disputed borders, military occupation, competing national claims and the tensions between Western powers and Yugoslavia. Through the story of Trieste, it reveals how the fragile cooperation of wartime Europe gave way to the political divisions of the Cold War.
An absorbing study for readers interested in Cold War origins, post-war Europe, diplomacy and the political confrontations that helped reshape the continent.
