The World Crisis is considered by many to be Winston S. Churchill's
literary masterpiece. Published across five volumes between 1923 and
1931, Churchill here tells the story of The Great War, from its origins
to the long shadow it cast on the following decades. At once a history
and a first-hand account of Churchill's own involvement in the war, The
World Crisis remains a compelling account of the conflict and its
importance.
In the fourth volume of his history of World War I, Churchill covers the
aftermath of the conflict, between the years 1918-1922. Churchill here
considers the process of demobilization after the many hard years of
war, and the long negotiation of the peace and the Treaty of Versailles,
as well as President Woodrow Wilson's famed 14 Points, the founding of
the League of Nations and the Revolution and Civil War in Russia.
