Pressezitat
The Day The Great War Ended is an important and thought provoking book. It presents a wealth of detail about the peace of Lausanne, and more importantly makes compelling arguments about the significance of a treaty which has been relegated to a mere footnote to the narrative of history. It is elegantly written, relatively short, and well-illustrated including some contemporary political cartoons which are reproduced in colour. Even if you are not naturally drawn to books on the aftermath of the First World War (and this one covers far more than just traditional diplomatic history), you will find that reading it is a rewarding experience. Gary Sheffield, The President's Review
