Winston S. Churchill World Crisis: The Aftermath

Annotation

The aftermath of World War I is explored in the fourth volume of Winston Churchill's ';remarkable' eyewitness account of history (Jon Meacham,bestselling author of Franklin and Winston). Once the war was over, the story didn't endnot for Winston Churchill, and not for the West. The fourth volume of Churchill's series, The World Crisis: The Aftermath documents the fallout of WWIincluding the Irish Treaty and the peace conferences between Greece and Turkey. The period immediately after World War I was extremely chaoticand 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 warwith 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
