1919 Versailles: The End of the War to End All Wars
World War I and the Versailles Treaty that followed produced the most serious upheaval in a long and stormy course of modern world history. Four great empires - Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, and Turkey - were part of the war's rubble. Far from restoring order, the diplomats who met in 1919 at Paris and Versailles plunged the world into the chaos of the twentieth century. Here, from award-winning historian Charles Mee, is the account of what happened when the three most powerful heads of state gathered to establish a new order.
To End All War
It is 1916 and twenty-six-year-old John Morris cannot ignore the Great War anymore. Despite his fathers objections and the fact that America has not even entered the war yet, John leaves Maryland for France where he hopes to fulfill his mission of becoming a flyer in the Lafayette Escadrille. He leaves behind not only his parents, but also his surgeon brother, Michael, and sister, Catherine, who are quietly nurturing their own dreams to play a part in the war. Over two years later, Johns father is dead, his mother is in Arizona, and Michael and Catherine are heading to New York. Michael is soon assigned to an aid station in France while Catherine translates French documents for the State Department. But after she is supposedly sent to Paris to work at the United States Embassy, Catherine is made a counterspy in a French town near the Swiss border. As John, Michael, and Catherine each do their best to help in a war that stretches from the skies to the Western Front, none of them realize that only two of them will return home. In this historical novel, three young Americans drawn into the Great War bravely battle seemingly insurmountable challenges while attempting to survive loss, find love, and pursue their dreams.
Two Trees
Science, Philosophy, Religion and even Governments have long sought ‘The Grand Unified Theory of Everything.’ Even if they find it, I suspect they won’t be able to eliminate the fundamental contradictions of our existence. Every formula, doctrine and policy has so far failed to unify the universe. Contradiction is everywhere around and within us. I do not mean the elegant ‘complimentary opposites’ of the Yin-Yang. I speak of the irreconcilable dichotomies that simultaneously occupy our little sphere of influence. The Grand Unified Theory may yet be discovered in a tome of mathematical equations or in a single unpronounceable syllable. Deduction is not my discipline. My business is to take the emotions created by our shared confusion and craft them into an image or narrative that might compel someone to say out loud, “I know exactly how you feel!” That’s how poetry saves lives. When they find it, we can all relax and softly dissolve into eternal enlightenment. Until that wonderful day, I must continue to maintain my equilibrium in this round-about by the best way I’ve learned how; the reading & practice of poetry. Sincerely David Leduc
