The Burden of Victory: France, Britain and the Enforcement of the Versailles 1919-1925

In The Burden of Victory, author Laird Kleine-Ahlbrandt discusses French-British relations in the period following the First World War. He looks at how the fear of German power fostered an Anglo-French cooperation that lasted until the end of World War I. With this background, discussions focus on the post-war domestic pressures and tensions that affected the Anglo-French association and contributed to its decline. The Burden of Victory is an incomparable one-volume treatment of such a topic, a topic that has particular relevance in the light of recent Anglo-French concern about Germany's role in Europe after its reunification.Contents: Illustrations; Preface; Prologue: The Formation of an Alliance; Versailles, 28 June 1991; Security is Everything; Reducing the Causes of Exasperation; The Grand Design; Somebody Has to Pay; To Get Some Coal; The End of Passive Resistance; Getting the French to Leave; The Berlin Initiative; The Moderator; The Meeting at Lake Magyar; A Marriage of Convenience; The Locarno Spirit; Epilogue: Tea Time; Appendices; Biobliography; Index.

<p>A dozen Purdue University Jewish faculty members-10 men and 2 women-who were forced to flee their homes in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary during the Holocaust, tell their stories in a series of interviews conducted by Kleine-Ahlbrandt, a history professor at Purdue and the author of The Burden of Victory: France, Britain and the Enforcement of the Versailles Peace, 1919-1925 (1995). Some of the refugees were unable to escape and survived through hiding and subterfuge or endured the camps. The interviewees, some speaking out for the first time after more than half a century, often found it difficult to recall painful experiences. They discussed the problems of growing up Jewish, especially after the enactment of anti-Jewish legislation; the importance of religion, God, and traditions in their lives; and adjusting to life in the U.S., where finding employment was just one of many obstacles. The author complements the interviews with commentary for readers unfamiliar with the history of World War 1.</p>
