"Beyond the Great War rectifies the history of the end of the war by going beyond traditional actors and periodisations, and by emphasising the struggles and imperfections in what is known as the new international order." - Jan Stöckmann (English Historical Review) "What Beyond the Great War demonstrates is how that complexity was reflected in divergent proposals for the creation of a better world. Pacifist and nonpacifist mothers in France held widely differing opinions about how to achieve peace, socialists were equally divided, and the Ligue des droits de l’homme, an institution central to French republicanism, could not agree whether the Treaty of Versailles should be revised. With chapters ranging from the ambiguous nature of Alsace-Lorraine’s return to France to Mary Church Terrell’s struggles to advance racial and gender equality, the book represents a worthy attempt to broaden understanding of the legacy of the conflict." - Alan Sharp, Ulster University (Journal of Modern History)
