Andelman Dear Reader, "It is the power and fascination of David Andelman's new book A SHATTERED PEACE that he shows us - with the clarity of a first-rate reporter and the drama and detail at the command of a first-rate novelist - that we are all still enmeshed in those loose ends, the inheritors of a mess left by the hasty, casual dispensation of fragments of nations inhabited by millions of people whose hopes were maimed and whose lives were often forfeit." -Richard Snow, editor in chief, American Heritage. For four decades I traveled the world as a foreign correspondent for The New York Times, then CBS News, visting more than 50 countries. Everywhere, I asked people where their countries went off the rails? Almost unanimously, each said "it was the Treaty of Versailles after World War I that did us in." A SHATTERED PEACE: VERSAILLES 1919 AND THE PRICE WE PAY TODAY - chronicles the amazing people who gathered in Paris in 1919 and destroyed our world by their corruption, greed or ignorance – everyone from Ho Chi Minh to Lawrence of Arabia, the great pianist Padarewski and Felix Frankfurter. Elsa Maxwell even brought over le jazz Americain. It's all there - how they created the nations of Iraq and Yugoslavia, the same borders we're shedding blood defending. This is vivid, living history, and under 300 pages! I'm also offering five free inscribed copies of my book.
