The Dangers of Peace: The Fight over Books in English in Postwar Europe.
In 1945, publishers in Western Europe looked forward to an era free of censorship and press restrictions enacted during Nazi occupation.

Yet postwar Europe presented them with a world of paper shortages, governmental regulations, and upstart American publishers eager to flood Europe with cheap paperbacks. Ironically, it wasn't war, but the peace that would pose the greatest existential threat to Sijthoff, Albatross, and Western Europe's other continental publishers of books in English. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Quaerendo is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
