{"product_id":"versailles-1919-alan-sharp-9781912208098","title":"Versailles 1919: A Centennial Perspective","description":"The Versailles Settlement, at the time of its creation a vital part of the Paris Peace Conference, suffers today from a poor reputation: despite its lofty aim to settle the world's affairs at a stroke, it is widely considered to have paved the way for a second major global conflict within a generation. Woodrow Wilson's controversial principle of self-determination amplified political complexities in the Balkans, and the war and its settlement bear significant responsibility for boundaries and related conflicts in today's Middle East. After almost a century, the settlement still casts a long shadow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fully revised and updated for the centennial of the Conference, \u003ci\u003eVersailles 1919\u003c\/i\u003e sets the ramifications of the Paris Peace treaties--for good or ill--within a long-term context. Alan Sharp mounts a powerful argument that the responsibility for Europe's continuing interwar instability cannot be wholly attributed to the peacemakers of 1919-23. Concise and convincing, \u003ci\u003eVersailles 1919\u003c\/i\u003e is a clear guide to the global legacy of the Versailles Settlement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Sharp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912208091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912208098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haus Pub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Alan Sharp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052592853247,"sku":"9781912208098","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ad070aa-0a2b-4c1c-acb8-8b567e74ca6c.jpg?v=1685019694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/versailles-1919-alan-sharp-9781912208098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
