London, England: Pimlico. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 2002. Trade Paperback. 0712671544 . Trade Paperback in wonderful condition, tiny bit of upturn on the front corners, clean, and tightly bound. "Although numerous studies focus on the origins, course, and consequences of World War I, few examine the process of how the war ended. Dallas, an independent scholar living in France and author of 1815: Roads to Waterloo, analyzes how peace broke out in 1918. The strength of Dallas's narration is that he compares events and people in Berlin, Paris, London, Washington, DC, and Moscow. By analyzing how the ceasefire was arranged, who the major participants were, and how the general population learned about the armistice, we gain insight into the lingering bitterness of the peace and interwar years.
