Abstract

From Versailles to Stresa

In this article the author focuses on three books related to the establishment of world peace. The three books are "Policies and Opinions at Paris, 1919," by G. Bernard Noble, "The Price of Peace: The Challenge of Economic Nationalism," by Frank H. Simonds and Brooks Emeny, "Peace and the Plain Man,' by Norman Angell. According to the author these three books constitute an interesting and illuminating triad in their contribution to the clarification of the present crisis in world affairs. He remarks that Noble had many advantages in writing a book on the Versailles settlement. He possessed full knowledge of the facts and was sufficiently removed from the events to have the perspective that was denied the authors of the crop of books that appeared from 1919 to 1921.
