Buchan & Enright. Very Good/Very Good. 1989. First Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo 0907675875 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. 260 pages clean and tight. Dimensions: 23.6 x 16.2 x 3.2 cm. This year marks two unhappy events in modern history: the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War, and the 75th anniversary of the First. On 11 November 1918, the fighting on the Western Front stopped, producing a respite that lasted for 21 years. The Allied statesmen congratulated themselves, and in time the soldiers - or most of them - came home to face the uncertainties of civilian life. Peace was to prove no more than an interlude, however. Germany had not been decisively defeated in the field; she had been destroyed by a sickness from within. The spark of German militarism had not been extinguished, for it smouldered on until, in the 1930s, it was fanned into flame by the Nazis. In effect, the Armistice of 1918 came to an abrupt end on 3 September 1939. The intervening years were no more than a long truce, affording time in which to develop the technology of destruction - tanks, aircraft, submarines, munitions among them - innovations from the Great War which, in 1918, had not yet reached maturity. How and why, therefore, did the Great War end, and what happened afterwards? What was there to celebrate in November 1918? At the time, there seemed to be much cause for rejoicing - or so it appeared to many people. In this remarkable new study, Richard Garrett examines the Armistice itself and the events leading up to it, including the `false Armistice' that, through a dreadful mistake, took America by storm. He contrasts the attitudes of the troops at the Front, mostly too exhausted to celebrate, with the wild and sometimes even disgraceful scenes `at home' or away from the fighting; and details the Spanish 'Flu epidemic - which killed more people than the war itself; the appalling wrangling over treaties as the Allies divided the spoils; and the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet, interned in Scapa Flow. Here also are the effects of the Great War in Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, and the USA; the Victory Processions and the doling-out of honours; the huge task of identifying and commemorating the dead, and the meagre assistance given to the injured or the bereaved; the mutinies, medals and monuments; the instigation of the Unknown Warrior; the glorification of death; and the sheer humbug so often displayed. .
