Foreword by Henry Kissinger
Advance Praise for A Shattered Peace
"The peace settlements that followed World War I have recently
come back into focus as one of the dominant factors shaping the
modern world. The Balkans, the Middle East, Iraq, Turkey, and parts
of Africa all owe their present-day problems, in part, to these
negotiations. David Andelman brings it all back to life--the lofty
ideals, the ugly compromises, the larger-than-life personalities
who came to Paris in 1919. And he links that far-away diplomatic
dance to present-day problems to illuminate our troubled times. A
tremendous addition to this vitally important subject."
--Ambassador Richard Holbrooke
"The peace conference in Paris at the end of World War I was the
first and last moment of pure hope for peace in the history of
world affairs. Our president Woodrow Wilson was the sorcerer for
this hope, and he kindled great expectations in people everywhere.
David Andelman, a classic reporter and storyteller, tells this
fascinating tale of hope falling finally and forever on the shoals
of naivete and hard-headed cynicism."
--Leslie H. Gelb, former columnist for the New York Times and
President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations
"The failed peace settlement following the Great War of 1914-1918
has been the subject of many fine books. In many respects, David
Andelman's A Shattered Peace is the best of these. It is compact
and compellingly written. Moreover, it explains more clearly than
any other work how the failure of peacemaking in 1919 shaped later
history and, indeed, shapes our own era."
--Ernest R. May, Charles Warren Professor of American History,
Harvard University
"It is the power and fascination of David Andelman's new book, A
Shattered Peace, that he shows us--with the clarity of a first-rate
reporter and the drama and detail at the command of a first-rate
novelist--that we are all still enmeshed in the loose ends of the
Treaty of Versailles. Andelman brings us to Korea, to Vietnam, to
the Persian Gulf, and to Iraq in our own vexed era. His story is
alive with color, conflict, and interesting people. We could not
find a better guide to this time."
--Richard Snow, Editor in Chief, American Heritage
