Ian Buruma has a fascinating book out about the aftermath of WW II in Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia: consequences, results and mistakes made, unintentional or not.
As the review in tomorrow's New York Times notes, http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/29/b...y-ian-buruma.html?pagewanted=2&_r=0&ref=books, it is a remarkable achievement that nations that formerly warred against one another no longer have any barriers or security guards at their borders.
