This book was kindly donated to the Collection by Mr. Hubert Ross. The price quoted is our estimate of its value. This is the story of 1918/1919, the fateful year that saw the tragedy of Germany soon become the tragedy of Europe. In 1918/19 came the brief moment when the victorious allies, at the Versailles Conference, had the opportunity, by means of a peace with justice, to set up democracy in Central Europe. This book tells of their failure, and the Allies rapacity,which drove a ruined Germany to seek revenge; of Germany's collapse into anarchy and Red revolution, and her own more frightful solution at the hands of the Army and the Freikorps, of the appearance of the swastika and right wingers and adventurers awaiting their fuhrer.
