Book Review

Waltzing into the Cold War: The Struggle for Occupied Austria. By James Jay Carafano. (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2002. xii, 249 pp. $44.95, ISBN 1-58544-213-5.)

This is a valuable and timely book on the difficult postconflict role of the American military over a decade of joint occupation in Austria from 1945 to 1955. Unfortunately, its main title is a misnomer, as there was nothing light-hearted about the immediate, twofold task with which the U.S. Forces in Austria (USFA) were confronted after World War II and well into the first Cold War—erasing Nazism and its legacy in Austria and rebuilding a Western-style democracy after twelve long years of authoritarian and fascist rule. The reestablishment of a democratic Austrian republic turned out to be a success story in the long run, but this was far from being inevitable or even obvious at the time of the quadripartite Allied occupation itself.
