Opis

This study of the 1923 Ruhr crisis makes plain the devastating human and political cost of France's abortive attempt to extract reparations from Germany by force. Economic ruin combined with moral and political crisis left the Weimar Republic hopelessly compromised. This is one of the great untold tragedies of European history which paradoxically contained the seeds of the contemporary European Union. It is a ground-breaking contribution to the history of inter-war Germany.

Recenzje

... a balanced study ... This book is an absolute must for serious students of the diplomatic history of Europe in general and France in particular during the tragic interwar period.
