Soft cover. Zustand: Good. Foxing on front cover. Otherwise good. Difficult-to-find 55-page booklet. Strong critic of Appeasement and of the weaknesses of the Allies since 1918. Not clear if author wanted even harsher terms against Germany at Versailles (he supported Clemenceau's stance). But vehement against any relaxation towards defeated Germany in 1945. A Vansittartist or Lord Russell of Liverpool who believed the Germans were incorrigible militarists, Hitler or no Hitler? Full of comments, quotes, remarks of period from 1918 to 1939. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas more.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Stapled into yellow paper wrappers, slightly dusty. A very good copy.

55pp., 8vo. Stapled into printed grey-card wraps. In fair condition, on lightly-aged paper, in aged and worn wraps with rusted staples. The author (employing a pseudonym?) writes with journalistic energy. The title is sarcastic, the author's opinion being that 'Wilson and Lloyd-George could, by supporting Clemenceau, have clipped Germany's wings for generations, if not for ever, but refused to do so'. Foreword by 'R. H.' dated December 1944, with postscript dated June 1945 ('All must regret the death of Lloyd-George, the man; but he was also an être politique, and as such is still open to criticism.'). Divided into four parts: 'The First World War', 'The Making of the Treaty', 'After the Treaty' and 'The Second World War'; with three appendixes: 'Letter from Bishop Cannon (1919)', '"Justice" - (Rudyard Kipling) October 1918' and 'La Belgique Sanglante" (1914) (Emil Verhaeren)'. The only copy on OCLC WorldCat at the University of Tulsa.
