| Summary |
The aftermath of World War I is explored in the fourth volume of Winston Churchill's "remarkable" eyewitness account of history (Jon Meacham). Once the war was over, the story didn't end'not for Winston Churchill, and not for the West. The fourth volume of Churchill's series The World Crisis documents the fallout of World War I'including the Irish Treaty and the peace conferences between Greece and Turkey. The period immediately after World War I was extremely chaotic'and it takes a genius of narrative description and organization to accurately and accessibly describe it for us. Churchill, who went on to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature, depicts the international disorganization and anarchy in the period immediately after the war'with the unique perspective of both a historian and a political insider. "Whether as a statesman or an author, Churchill was a giant; and The World Crisis towers over most other books about the Great War." 'David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace |
