Synopsis

A clear-eyed look at the peace that should follow World War I, and the choices that will shape Europe’s future. This book argues that a punitive “German peace” would hurt all nations, and it calls for careful, practical steps to build a durable settlement.

Drawing on a wide view of Europe—from Britain’s stance to the Balkans, the Middle East, and beyond—the author lays out the stakes of postwar policy. It covers topics such as how allies might cooperate, how borders and peoples should be treated, and what measures of reparation and reform are realistically possible. The discussion centers on avoiding vengeance while pursuing a just and lasting peace, with attention to rethinking alliances, territories like Alsace-Lorraine, and the fate of minority and regional claims.

Readers will find:
- Clear analysis of postwar problems across Europe, including the Balkans, Austria-Hungary, and the Middle East.
- Practical arguments for reconciliation and cooperative settlement over fear-driven retaliation.
- How future peace might address questions of territory, governance, and regional stability.
- A framework for understanding the organization of peace as a concrete, achievable goal.

Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful roadmap to the aftercare of war and the hope of a stable, cooperative Europe.
