    • Abstract:
      Title: In war’s wake: Europe’s displaced persons in the postwar order. "[Gerard Daniel] Cohen argues that the isolation of displaced persons in camps, some of which were converted concentration or POW camps, rested on a fine line 'between assistance and incarceration … Between humanitarian aid and political quarantine.' . . . Cohen’s book is essentially a history of the International Refugee Organization (IRO). . . . Alongside accounts of the hypocrisies of postwar aid initiatives and their prolongation of the moral perversions of the war, Cohen discusses the poignant idealism of those involved in refugee relief. . . . 'In War’s Wake' brilliantly demonstrates . . . that refugee flows possess a logic of their own and are by their very nature complementary."
