At The Eleventh Hour: Reflections, Hopes and Anxieties at the Closing of the Great War, 1918 (1998) By Hugh Cecil & Peter H. Liddle
When the Great War of 1914-1918 came to a close, the reaction of the belligerant countries ranged from hope and joy to despair and anxiety, from a sense of release to anger, or bewilderment. This volume, written by historical authorities from all over the world, draws on their specialist expertise and from original letters, diaries, public records and newspapers, to chart and analyse reactions in particular countries. the contributors' work demonstrates the complexity of national attitudes towards the war and brings home, tragically, the fragility and illusory nature of the peace that dawned in the autumn of 1918.
