The essays in this volume show that Versailles was not the static creation of one man, but a hugely complex cultural space; a centre of power, but also of life, love, anxiety, creation, and an enduring palimpsest of aspirations, desires, and ruptures. The splendour of the Château and the masterpieces of art and design that it contains mask a more complex and sometimes more sordid history of human struggle and achievement. The case studies presented by the contributors to this book cannot provide a comprehensive account of the Palace of Versailles and its domains, the life within its walls, its visitors, and the art and architecture that it has inspired from the seventeenth century to the present day: from the palace of the Sun King to the Penthouse of Donald Trump. However, this innovative collection will reshape-or even radically redefine-our understanding of the palace of Versailles and its posterity.

Issues such as the Versailles Treaty and its role in the rise of Hitler, the 'End of History', trench warfare, and the capacity for individual commanders to change the course of the battle, will be addressed within. This compilation is accessible to the novice, yet useful to the expert. It is concise, yet densely packed with knowledge that could prevent future wars, or at least ameliorate their consequences. For the beginner or a veteran of military affairs, get this book! It takes what would otherwise be complex material (Trench warfare in WWI for example) and the author breaks it down and makes it easy to understand.

This book, first released in 2012, demanded now its second edition, because one and another correction was necessary. It deals with the European crisis of the years 2008-2016, presently overcome, by what we can see. The thesis concerning the installation of the capital is validated, although it is imperative to say that the issue of period showed a new face.

Excerpt from Versailles and the Trianons Suddenly, when one has mounted the stair case of Latona, the whole mass of the building comes into view in its entire length and in much its most imposing aspect. The centre of the Palace, where the royal apartments were, projects in a strong, square mass, the effect of which is lightened by colonnades and a quantity of sculpture; on each side an immense wing extends, repeating, a hundred paces further back, the plan of this noble design, and the pointed roof of the chapel is the only interrup tion to the monotony of the lines. To the right they end in a projection, above a distant horizon; to the left they are merged in the lofty heights of the trees, which thus seem to carry on the majestic effect of the architecture. This is the spot where one may see at a glance, in its almost unaltered glory and in its perfect unity, the most famous dwelling-place of the monarchy, designed by King Louis XIV. To serve as the symbol of his reign and the monu ment' of his greatness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Winding-Up of the Versailles Treaty: Report to the IV. Congress of the Communist International British policy of economic control of the Near East had another trump-card, namely, the old connections of British capitalism with the Greeks. Greece possesses in the Near East a relatively strong commercial capital. While the capitalist production of Greece is still in a backward state, she has got for centuries a considerable merchant marine and commercial connections which outstrip by far those of the Armenian merchants. At an early period, British commercial capital penetrated, through Greek channels, into Asia Minor. This was the economic basis of British Philhellenism. The handing over of Smyrna to the Greeks meant practically its annexation by British commercial capital. However, the Allies at Sevres miscalculated the whole situation. Although the main cadre, on which Kemal Pasha relied in the rising of 1919, came from the old organisation of the Young Turks, he could not fight under their banner, for the Young Turkish Party is discredited, partly in consequence of the defeat in the war, partly through having turned during the war into a clicque of army purveyors and profiteers, who, while they could not yet be called a capitalist party, exhibited all the vices of capitalism. Kemal Pasha, while keeping aloof from them as a Party, could not help seeing that they were the only organised force which Turkey had for her defence. These elements have come, before all, from a section of professional soldiers, typifying the landless gentry who lost cast, then from the old bureaucracy who descended partly from the same class, partly from the popular masses. In old Turkey it was possible for energetic men of the lower strata of society to enter the ruling oligarchy. (it may suffice to mention Talaat Pasha, who, as the son of a railway worker, rose, through his energy and talent from a telegraph operator to the office of a Grand Vizier.) Also inthe army there were many higher officers who had come from the ranks of the people. These conditions made it possible for the decaying upper class to renew the oligarchy and to recruit fresh energies for the reorganisation of the State. These are the forces employed by Kemal Pasha, with so much effect, in his work of organisation of the defence of his country. In view of the fact that Turkey had been undergoing a long series of wars since 1909 and that the peasantry has been well nigh ruined, the success of Kemal Pasha appears to be quite marvellous, but it is, . None the less, comprehensible if we recall to our mind the long past of the Turkish people, its rule for centuries over south-eastern Europe, and its warlike traditions. These traditions are found most pronouncedly among the Anatolian peasants, who are distinguished by their strong attachment to their country and their unfailing readiness to defend it. In addition to this it may be remarked that the Turkish people regard this defence as a struggle against enslavement of the Islamic East by the Christian Occident.

The third edition of this acclaimed textbook on peace-making after the First World War advances that the responsibility for the outbreak of a new, even more ruinous, war in 1939 cannot be ascribed entirely to the planet's most powerful men and their meeting in Paris in January 1919 to reassemble a shattered world. Giving a concise overview of the problems and pressures these key figures were facing, Alan Sharp provides a coherent introduction to a highly complex and multi-dimensional topic. This is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking modules on the Versailles Settlement, European and International History, Modern History, Interwar Europe, The Great War, 20th Century Europe, German History, or Diplomatic History, on either history courses or international relations/politics courses.
