This book on the Treaty of Versailles constitutes a new synthesis
of peace conference scholarship. It illuminates events from the
armistice in 1918 to the signing of the treaty in 1919,
scrutinizing the motives, actions and constraints that informed
decision-making by the French, American and English politicians who
bore the principal responsibility for drafting the peace
settlement. It also addresses German reactions to the draft treaty
and the final agreement, as well as Germany's role in the immediate
postwar period. The findings call attention to diverging peace aims
within the American and Allied camps and underscore the degree to
which the negotiators themselves considered the Versailles Treaty a
work in progress. A detailed examination of the proceedings from
the point of view of the main protagonists forms the core of the
investigation.
