This book, first published in 1988, charts society's responses to the huge numbers of refugees in Europe and the Middle East during and after the Second World War. At the close of the war large areas of Europe lay in ruins, and large numbers of refugees faced upheaval and famine. Political considerations influenced the decisions as to who received assistance, and refugees were forcibly repatriated or resettled - and in the analysis of these matters and more, both the refugee crises of the 1940s and their relevance today are highlighted.
