Professor Lentin, author of General Smuts in the Makers of the Modern World Series, debates with Jim Naughty and David Watson, author of the volume on Clemenceau, on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme this morning.

The League of Nations
Makers of the Modern World: The peace conferences of 1919-23 and their aftermath

The League of Nations

Makers of the Modern World: The peace conferences of 1919-23 and their aftermath
by Ruth Henig

Many of the peacemakers who came to Paris in 1918-19 had thought deeply about establishing an international body of stature and authority to prevent war from breaking out again in the future. This book looks at how the League was shaped and the multi-faceted body which emerged, and how it was used in ensuing years to counter territorial ambitions and restrict armaments, as well as its role in human rights and refugee issues.

The Hashemites: The Dream of Arabia
Makers of the Modern World: The peace conferences of 1919-23 and their aftermath

The Hashemites: The Dream of Arabia

Makers of the Modern World: The peace conferences of 1919-23 and their aftermath
by Robert McNamara

The story of the Arab Revolt and the Hashemite princes who led it during the First World War is inextricably linked in modern eyes to the legend of Lawrence of Arabia as portrayed in David Lean’s 1962 film. But behind this romantic image lies a harsher reality of wartime expediency, double-dealing and dynastic ambition, which shaped the modern Middle East and laid the foundations of many of the conflicts that rack the region to this day.
