In the year that World War II ended, aside from major historical events remembered by posterity, there were many forgotten people and things. The entire Old World had been turned into a pile of rubble. People not only felt the joy of victory, but also experienced repressed human nature and lust, as well as terrible hunger and hearts full of hatred. The book Year Zero: A History of 1945 will take you back to 1945 to see how an entirely new modern world was born from tattered ruins.
