Advance Praise to get a Shattered Calmness
""The serenity settlements that used World War I've recently come back into focus as one of the prominent factors shaping the modern world. The Balkans, the center East, Iraq, Turkey, and elements of Africa all owe their present-day problems, in part, to these negotiations. David Andelman brings it all back to life--the lofty ideals, the awful compromises, the larger-than-life personalities who arrived to Paris in 1919. And he links back to you that far-away diplomatic boogie to present-day problems to light up our stressed times. A significant addition to this vitally important subject matter.""
--Ambassador Richard Holbrooke
""The serenity meeting in Paris by the end of World Conflict I was the first and last moment of 100 % pure hope for serenity in the annals of world affairs. Our chief executive Woodrow Wilson was the sorcerer for this trust, and he kindled great targets in people all over. David Andelman, a vintage reporter and storyteller, instructs this fascinating tale of hope slipping finally and permanently on the shoals of naivete and hard-headed cynicism.""
--Leslie H. Gelb, ex - columnist for the brand new York Times and Chief executive Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relationships
""The failed serenity settlement following a Great Conflict of 1914-1918 has been the main topic of many fine literature. In many respects, David Andelman's A Shattered Calmness is the foremost of these. It is small and compellingly written. Furthermore, it explains more obviously than any other work how the failure of peacemaking in 1919 shaped later history and, indeed, forms our own period.""
--Ernest R. May, Charles Warren Professor of American History, Harvard School
""It's the power and fascination of David Andelman's new publication, A Shattered Calmness, that he shows us--with the clarity of an first-rate reporter and the theatre and depth at the command line of an first-rate novelist--that we all have been still enmeshed in the loose ends of the Treaty of Versailles. Andelman brings us to Korea, to Vietnam, to the Persian Gulf, and to Iraq in our own vexed period. His history is alive with color, conflict, and interesting people. We're able to not find a better guide to this time.""
