"[Neiberg presents an] account of the Treaty of Versailles, explaining the enormous challenges facing those who tried to put the world back together after the global destruction of the World War I. Rather than assessing winners and losers, this . . . book analyzes the many subtle factors that influenced the treaty and the dominant, at times ambiguous role of the 'Big Four' leaders: Woodrow Wilson of the United States, David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy, and Georges Clemenceau of France"--Provided by publisher.

"Details the Paris Peace Conference, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and its aftereffects on Germany from the perspectives of those involved"--Provided by publisher.

This book examines the events leading up to the treaty and the creation of the League of Nations, and delves into how these aspects led and possibly contributed to the atrocities of World War II.

Surprising facts of World War II await readers of this notable volume, which discusses not only the causes of the war, but also the significant battles and eventual conclusion.
