The Long End of the Great War and the Birth of a New World, 1917-1924
Omschrijving
The characters who defined the inter-war years are considered in terms of the connections between them, including stories about the inter-war trajectories of Kaiser Wilhelm, Lenin, Hemingway, Hitler, Trotsky and Freud. Gets across the experimental but troubled and uncertain nature of the time Outside the classic frames of war and peace, these all-too-human tales - funny, tragic and fateful - tell a wider story of the exuberant dreams, dark fears, grubby ambition and sheer chance which marked Europe's post-war metamorphosis, and the century to come.
