'You read her, laughing, and want to do your best to protect her characters from any reality but their own' New York Times It is 1945. When peace breaks out at last, familiar wartime routines are interrupted, and the residents of Barsetshire seem as disconcerted as they are overjoyed. As the country's eligible young men return home, life regains momentum: before long, everyone is spinning in a flurry of misunderstandings and engagements. The older generation, though, sees that the world will never be the same again. Both wry and poignant, Peace Breaks Out was written in the tumultuous year in which it is set. It is an unforgettable portrait of the joy and misgivings felt in the final days of the Second World War.

Rock seeks to identify the decisive factors that can lead traditionally hostile nations toward amicable relations and contends that power relationships alone do not determine whether nations will be at peace with one another. He examines four interconnected cases of great power relations between 1895 and 1914 involving the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and France to test his hypothesis.

PBS's The Great American Read named it one of America's best-loved novels. A Separate Peace has been a bestseller in the United States for nearly thirty years, and it is ageless in its depiction of youth during a time when the entire country was losing its innocence to World War II. A Separate Peace is a horrific and brilliant fable about the dark side of adolescence set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II. Gene is an introverted, lonely intellectual. Phineas is a reckless athlete who is attractive and taunts others. Like the war itself, what happens between the two friends one summer robs these guys and their world of their innocence.

After five long years of War, the outbreak of Peace is met with trepidation by the inhabitants of Barsetshire. For many of the young, Peace is an unknown quantity; for their elders, it will bring inevitable change, not all of it welcome. Those whose young lives have been spent in the Forces start to turn their attentions to marriage and careers. David Leslie, now thirty-nine, is still meddling with the feelings of every available young woman - until his cousin Rose Bingham finally "sorts him out" and they suitably become engaged. The older generation, including Mrs Morland and Lady Graham, still manage to attract their own share of admirers and the feud between the Deanery and the Bishop's Palace continues in the background.

In the final months of the Second World War, a brother and sister find themselves on leave at their rural home in southern England. In the small social world of Barsetshire, they are thrown together with various members of a family from the nearby cathedral town of Barchester, including a young woman whose father stands as a Conservative party candidate at the 1945 general election, and a classics master invalided out of the armed forces. The outbreak of peace becomes as much a cause for complaint as the inconveniences of the war had been, and the election campaign provides an opportunity to air class prejudices and concerns about the state of the country. The story offers a light social comedy tracking the interactions within a county circle of friends, family and acquaintances as they meet for tea, sales of work, dinner parties and weekend visits, set against backdrops of village life (Hatch End), the cathedral close (Barchester), a public school (Southbridge) and an estate farm (Rushwater). By the end of the book, after various flirtations and mild jealousies, three couples have become engaged, and the story concludes in romantic, rather than satirical mode.
