Descriere magazin:
For more than half a century, it has been widely recognized that the Treaty of
Versailles created the circumstances that led inevitably to World War II. Less acknowledged and understood is the treaty\'s profound impact on many other parts of the world-an impact that echoes to this day in the Middle East, the Far East, the Balkans, and, yes, in Iraq. In A
Shattered Peace, veteran foreign correspondent
David A.
Andelman takes a fresh new look at the Treaty of
Versailles as the point of origin for many of today\'s most critical international issues. In this revealing history,
Andelman turns the spotlight on the many errors committed by the peacemakers that led to crises and bloodshed from Kosovo to Iraq, wars from Israel to Vietnam. Focusing on the small nations and minor players at the negotiations, including figures such as Ho Chi Minh and Charles de Gaulle who would later become boldfaced names, he traces the outcome of the deliberations through the history of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
Andelman also paints a vivid picture of the glittering and often chaotic social whirl that accompanied the negotiations. Elsa Maxwell threw her first party; young Franklin Delano Roosevelt flirted with Parisian widows to the humiliation of his wife, Eleanor; princesses and young gentlemen in formal attire danced gaily to the hot new sound of American jazz-all this as prime ministers Georges Clemenceau and
David Lloyd George ogled huge maps, dividing up territories and cementing their nations\' positions as leading world powers for decades to come. Complete with a new foreword by Sir Harold Evans, a new introduction from the author, and a never-before-published chapter on establishing a global economy, as well as insightful quotations from the diaries and correspondence of participants and previously unpublished photographs of the proceedings and their surroundings, A
Shattered Peace will change the way you think about twentieth-century history, its influence on current events, and where we should go from here. For more than half a century, it has been widely recognized that the Treaty of
Versailles, founded on retribution against Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, created the circumstances that led inevitably to World War II. Less acknowledged and understood is the treaty\'s profound impact on many other parts of the world--an impact that echoes to this day across Asia, the Balkans, and throughout the Middle East. In A
