The Versailles Settlement is widely considered to have set the world on the path to a second major conflict within a generation. This book, updated with new material to mark the centenary of WWI, sets the consequences - for good or ill - of the Peace Treaties into their longer term context.
"What an intellectual feast Alan Sharp has served us with this comprehensive treatment of the peace conferences that ended the Great War!"
- William R. Keylor, International History Institute, Boston University
"As a glance at the table of contents shows, there are always more and interesting things to be said on the perennially fascinating question of the Paris Peace Conference. Sadly, too, there is much that is still relevant for our own troubled world."
- Margaret Macmillan Warden, St. Antony's College, Oxford University, and author of Paris 1919
