The World Crisis: The Aftermath (Winston S. Churchill World Crisis Collection) Kindle Edition

by Winston S. Churchill (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
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

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965) has been called 'the greatest Briton'. An international statesman, orator, biographer, historian, author and Nobel Prize winner, his works remain in print with the world's leading publishers.

Educated at Harrow and Sandhurst, Winston spent several years in the army before becoming a newspaper correspondent and then an MP. His cabinet positions included First Lord of the Admiralty at the outbreak of the First World War and later Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940 and for five years led Britain though its 'finest hour'. Defeated in the July 1945 election, he was Leader of the Opposition until re-elected Prime Minister in 1951. He was knighted in 1953, the same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He stepped down as Prime Minister in 1955 and remained an MP until 1964.

5.0 out of 5 stars Churchill and his role during Turkish Republic's independence war.
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2015
Verified Purchase
I found this volume (and the other 4) very readable, authoritative, informative and sometimes revealing, especially to a Turkish reader like myself. Churchill is in general a mystery for us Turks and the classical discourse about this giant personality is such that, following the ill-fated Dardanelles campaign of 1915, he was an outcast in Britain until the Second World War. This belief is certainly wrong: this book is open proof of his continuing role within British political decision making during and after the WWI.

He was the person who coined the sticking term "Middle East", was for two years behind-the-scenes boss of Col. Lawrence (of Arabia), participated or directly behind many fateful events about the future of Palestine and the Israel State, created the vision for the future of the former Ottoman Vilayets of Mosul, Baghdat, Syria, et al., was central in the capture of Mosul-Kirkuk oil fields etc.

Also interesting is to learn the details of his role during the 1919-1922 Turkish Independence War, his support of a Turkish Constantinople, his early realism about leaving Turkey to Turks, his counter arguments and letters to Lloyd George about his mistake of supporting the Greek campaign in Anatolia. He was a realist all-round and a respectful sympathizer of Mustafa Kemal.

This book is a delight for the curious reader who has any interest in the WWI and Churchill's key role in defining the Middle East. It is also very interesting to read Churchill's perspective on the Sevres being a void agreement, as soon as it was signed.

The first 2-3 paragraphs of the chapter summarize brilliantly how hate evolves. The chapter ends with a moving account of leaders more concerned with country than party or self.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Was Really Lost by the Allies in WW1
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
I love Churchill's style and his authenticity, having been an insider to the conduct not only of WW1, but especially the aftermath. Such a messy situation was left when Germany capitulated, and the Western victors were so decimated and desperate to turn their back on it, that they abandoned the field, leaving Russia to the mercy of the Bolsheviks and the Armenians to the mercy of the Turks. Churchill was for engaging with the Germans and the US to assist the democratic parties being slaughtered by the Bolsheviks, and for working with the Italians to control and re-orientate the Turkish authorities, but it was not to be. This is riveting insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware! Some Scribner's Sets are 6 Volumes, not 5 Volumes
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2014
Verified Purchase
I'm sure Volume Four is a 4-star book. However, while most photos and descriptions, including the "Look Inside" feature, show the Scribner's Set in its 5-volume edition with Volume 4 as The Aftermath, you need to contact the seller to verify that the Volume 4 they are selling is The Aftermath and not The Teutonic Collapse. Some Scribner's sets have The Aftermath as Volume 5 and The Eastern Front as Volume 6. I found out the hard way when I got a copy of Volume 5 that was The Aftermath and a copy of Volume 4 that was not The Aftermath, but rather The Teutonic Collapse, an earlier portion of the series that covered the end of the war.

A very well written account of the difficulties and issues that conflict between countries create once the victor has been established. No person should be in a position of power if they have not read and absorbed this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars like all his Others
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
As usual, Winston maintains the level of our expectations. His insight, internal political and military knowledge, on top of his precision in going to the trouble to find all the original documents to support his theses, make this book, like all his Others, a really top read for anybody interested in the true history of the two world wars. He was present for both and puts all his acumen into telling us the tale.
Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars After WW I Treaties
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023

I wanted to get a history of this time period from someone who lived and participated in the peace process. Winston Churchill 's writing is interesting and informative. He writes not just for the historian but for those who are curious about what happened at this time. It is a window into a time I didn't know too much about. It gave me insight into the complexities then and how it still affects the mindset of those people today.
