Synopsis: The aftermath of World War I is explored in the fourth volume of Winston Churchill&’s &“remarkable&” eyewitness account of history (Jon Meacham, bestselling author of Franklin and Winston). Once the war was over, the story didn&’t end—not for Winston Churchill, and not for the West. The fourth volume of Churchill&’s series, The World Crisis: The Aftermath documents the fallout of WWI—including the Irish Treaty and the peace conferences between Greece and Turkey. The period immediately after World War I was extremely chaotic—and it takes a genius of narrative description and organization to accurately and accessibly describe it for us. Churchill, who went on to receive a Nobel Prize in Literature, depicts the international disorganization and anarchy in the period immediately after the war—with the unique perspective of both a historian and a political insider. &“Whether as a statesman or an author, Churchill was a giant; and The World Crisis towers over most other books about the Great War.&” —David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace
