- [Consequences of the Peace](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/consequences-of-the-peace/) - This final volume in the series evaluates the immediate and later effects of the last great peace gathering which sought to settle the world’s affairs at a stroke – something that was not attempted after either the Second World War or the Cold War. The Versailles settlement has not enjoyed a great reputation. It has been blamed for causing a second major conflict within a generation, thus apparently fulfilling Marshal Foch’s gloomy prediction that ‘This is not a peace, it is an armistice for twenty years’. More recently commentators have suggested that the post-1989 ethnic disturbances in the Balkans and on the fringes of the former Soviet Union are ‘the old chickens of Versailles coming home to roost’. The contemporary world still struggles to come to terms with the implications of President Woodrow Wilson’s troublesome principle of national self-determination, and remains embroiled in the ambiguities and complexities of the Middle East, an area for whose boundaries and problems the Great War and settlement bear significant responsibility. We are also still seeking to realise more effectively some of the nobler ambitions of the peacemakers, expressed in the Covenant of the League of Nations, in their concern for the human rights of minority nationalities left on the wrong side of the new borders that they sanctioned, and in their attempt to extend criminal responsibility for war beyond the operational irregularities of combatants to political and military leaders. Ninety years on, the settlement still casts a long shadow.

- [Balzac's Omelette](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/balzacs-omelette/) - ‘Tell me where you eat. what you eat, and at what time you eat, and I will tell you who you are.’ This is the motto of Anka Muhlstein’s erudite and witty book about the ways food and the art of the table feature in Honoré de Balzac’s writing. It is not a coincidence that Balzac was the first in French literature to tackle this appetizing topic. Before the French Revolution, a traveller in France was apt to find local food scarce, tasteless and of dubious appearance. Restaurants did not even exist! Just as the art of the table became a centrepiece of French mores, Balzac used it as a connecting thread in his novels, showing how food can evoke character, atmosphere, class and social pretensions. Full of insights, Balzac’s Omelette invites you to taste anew French literature and cuisine.

- [Britain in a Perilous World](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/britain-in-a-perilous-world/) - In 2010 the coalition government’s Strategic Defence and Security Review hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Major defence projects such as the NIMROD aircraft were abandoned at huge cost while others were controversially continued because they were too expensive to scrap. In advance of the next Strategic Defence and Security Review scheduled for 2015, Major General Jonathan Shaw argues persuasively for the need to rethink the way Whitehall devises strategy and reaches decisions. Taking the imprecise use of language as his starting point, Shaw challenges the assumptions that underlie Whitehall practice. Based on extensive personal experience of working in Whitehall and applying strategy in the field, Shaw provides a piercing insight into how government really works. In this powerfully argued piece, he suggests how the Review can be improved and why the credibility of our political class depends on getting it right.

Amidst all the kaleidoscopic variety what – if anything – do 28 members of the European Union have in common? The facts of history have created shared interests and cultural connections that are in the end more important than the differences. We know we are different from Asia; and we are more different from America than we – perhaps especially the British – think. So in a 21st century of globalisation and emerging great powers, Europe must discover and define that common identity. This is a challenge for all the big states of the EU.

- [Establishment and Meritocracy](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/establishment-and-meritocracy/) - Like so many of his postwar generation, Peter Hennessy climbed the ladders of opportunity set up by the 1944 Education Act that were designed to craft a more meritocratic society. In this highly personal essay, Hennessy examines the rise of meritocracy as a concept, and the persistence of the shadowy notion of an establishment. He asks whether these elusive descriptors still have explanatory power in understanding British society and institutions, and why they continue to fascinate us. To what extent are they both imagined concepts? And, perhaps most difficult of all, did a British meritocracy rise in the years since 1945?
- [Greed](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/greed/) - In a riveting scene in the film Wall Street, Gordon Gekko proclaims, ‘Greed is good’. The great philosopher David Hume, on the contrary, describes greed as the most destructive of the vices. The banking debacle and the continuing row about bonuses has placed the controversial issue of greed at the very heart of how we view our society. Is Gekko’s maxim merely in need of some moderation? After all, incentives are essential to achieve results. Or is it Hume who, uncharacteristically in this instance, lacks moderation? His claim be greed is ‘directly destructive of society’. Can this be true? This example of Hume’s reasoning illustrates very clearly his attachment to the idea of ‘a science of man’ rather than religion or sentiment as a basis for moral, social and political practice. Sutherland examines this science and questions its practical applications for the modern age.

In Search of Ancient North Africa is a journey into the ruins of a landscape to make sense of these stories through the lives of five men and one woman. Queen Dido was a sacrificial refugee; King Juba II a prisoner of war who became a compliant tool of the Roman Empire; Septimius Severus an unpromising provincial who, as emperor, brought the empire to its dazzling apogee; St Augustine an intellectual careerist who became a bishop and a saint; Hannibal the greatest general the world has ever known; and Masinissa the man who eventually defeated him. Together these six lives, clouded with as much myth as fact, represent classical North Africa. Between these life stories, we explore ruins which tell their own tales and see the multiple interconnections that bind the culture of this region with the wider world, particularly the spiritual traditions of the ancient Near East.

In many ways, they hardly were: confined for 24 hours a day, with the barest rations, no hygiene or medical help, and accompanied by cockroaches, scorpions, and tarantulas. One of the few to survive, Aziz writes not only to tell his own remarkable story but to remember and honour the men that lived – and died – alongside him. Against the backdrop of this unimaginable suffering, Aziz shows the strength of the human spirit to keep going against all the odds, to smile in the face of misery, and to forgive rather than condemn. Set to become a cult classic of survival literature, Tazmamart is a hellish journey through the abyss of despair – and out the other side.

- [Beneš & Masaryk](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/benes-masaryk/) - Of even greater importance for Hungary's future were the activities of the champions of an independent state of Czechs and Slovaks. Tomáš Masaryk, a Czech professor of philosophy and a future leader of his people, was hard at work within a month of the outbreak of war lobbying in Paris and London for an independent Bohemia, still a major component of the Austrian Empire within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which would incorporate the predominantly Slovak regions of northern Hungary. Masaryk, who was assisted in his efforts by Eduard Beneš, a bitter enemy of the Habsburgs. Thus the new state was effectively shaped before the Paris Peace Conference. But the Conference laid down the seeds of Czechoslovakia's later destruction. Only nine million Czechoslovaks lived in the state out of a population of fourteen million. A large discontented Hungarian minority lived in Slovakia, and the Polish majority area of Teschen poisoned Czech-Polish relations. Yet the greatest challenge came from the rise of the Nazis in Germany in 1930s: Masaryk always claimed that he did not want three and half million ethnic Germans, but he and Beneš accepted them nonetheless. Masaryk died in 1937, and Britain and France would not support the Czechs over the Sudetenland, the infamous deal struck in Munich by Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler.

- [William Massey](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/william-massey/) - The Great War profoundly affected both New Zealand and its Prime Minister William Massey (1856-1925). 'Farmer Bill' oversaw the dispatch of a hundred thousand New Zealanders, including his own sons, to Middle Eastern and European battlefields. In 1919 he led the New Zealand delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, where it was represented both in its own right and as part of the British Empire. This symbolised its staunch loyalty to Empire and the fact that it had its own particular interests. Massey was largely satisfied with the Versailles Treaty. He believed that the apparent confirmation of British power improved New Zealand's security, and had little faith in the League of Nations. However, the opposition Labour Party came to believe the League could prevent a major war and made that a cornerstone of their foreign policy in government after 1935. Their belief that Versailles was unfair to Germany partly influenced them to favour negotiations with Hitler even after the outbreak of war in 1939.
- [The Hashemites](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/the-hashemites/) - 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.
- [The Maharajah of Bikaner](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/the-maharajah-of-bikaner/) - The story of the Indian soldiery in the Great War needs a new telling and one important chapter of it will be about the Maharajah of Bikaner: Dashing, autocratic and a formidable public speaker, Ganga Singh commanded his own camel corps called the Ganga Risala, fought on the Western Front and in Egypt, became the first Indian general in the British Indian army and persuaded the maharajas to unite into the Chamber of Princes. As a result of this and his war record he was invited by Lloyd George to attend the Imperial War Conference in 1917 and then the Versailles Peace Conference two years later, where he persuaded the other delegates to include India in the new League of Nations, quite an achievement as it was not an independent nation. Less successfully he tried to prevent the dismemberment of Turkey.

- [Wellington Koo](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/wellington-koo/) - Born in Shanghai and raised in the city's International Settlement, Gu Weijun, a.k.a. Wellington Koo (1887-1985) became fluent in English during his postgraduate studies abroad - he got a PhD in Law from Columbia in 1912. He was recalled soon afterwards to become the English Secretary to the newly formed Republic of China, and became ambassador to the United States in 1915. He achieved notoriety at the Paris Peace Conference where he sternly resisted Japanese attempts to hold onto seized German colonial territory in mainland China. In protest at their treatment, the Chinese were the only delegates not to sign the subsequent Treaty of Versailles. Koo was China's first representative to the League of Nations, and ended up as acting president of Republican China during the unrest of the period 1926-7.He subsequently served briefly as a Foreign Minister during the peak of the Warlord Era, before returning to Europe, first as a delegate at the League of Nations, and then as China's ambassador to France. With the Nazi occupation, Koo fled to Britain, where he became the Chinese ambassador to the UK until 1946. A founder member of the United Nations, Koo was instrumental in maintaining the position of Republican China on the Security Council - by this time, 'Republican China' was limited solely to the island of Taiwan, while the Communists proclaimed themselves to be the new rulers of China itself.Retiring from the diplomatic service in 1956, the venerable Koo went on to become a judge at the International Court of Justice at the Hague, rising to vice-president before his retirement, aged 80, in 1967. He settled in New York, where his final years were tormented by 'Republican' China's loss of its seat on the United Nations Security Council to the Communists, following Nixon's famous visit to China.
- [Vittorio Orlando](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/vittorio-orlando/) - The Italian premier Vittorio Orlando came to Paris as one of the ‘Big Four’, yet in April 1919 walked out in one of the most dramatic crises of the Peace Conferences. Orlando’s failure to win for Italy the territories she felt were owed to her was to have far-reaching consequences for both Italy and Europe as a whole. Italy in 1918 was in an ambivalent position: at the outbreak of war the country had been part of the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary, but had stayed neutral until joining the Allies in 1915 on the promise of territorial rewards. The war was a near-disaster for the Italians, culminating in the collapse of their armies at Caporetto in 1917. It was this crisis that brought Orlando to power, and he did much to restore the situation, but the Italians looked to Versailles to compensate them for the terrible losses they had suffered. In this book, the clash between Italy’s territorial demands in the Balkans, which had been guaranteed by the Allies in 1915 and earned through her losses in the War, with the new Wilsonian doctrine of open diplomacy and national self-determination is detailed, and it traces the effects the failure of Orlando’s delegation to satisfy their people’s demands which directly to the rise of Fascism and to Mussolini’s policies in the 1930s as he sought to obtain what Italy had been denied at Versailles.

Let it be your introduction to China and its people.
- [28 June](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/28-june/) - On 28 June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Sarajevo. The assassin’s bullets proved fatal not only to the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne (and, accidentally, to his wife, Sophie) but ultimately to the peace of Europe and to four great multi-national, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual empires that had dominated Eastern and Central Europe for centuries. At the end of the war, whose length and ferocity stunned its participants, subject populations across the globe, encouraged (not always intentionally) by the inspirational rhetoric of the American president, Woodrow Wilson, sought self-determination and statehood. Not all were successful but those that were transformed the maps of Europe and the world. Taken in conjunction with the peacemakers’ ambitious attempt to transform the conduct of international relations with the founding of the League of Nations, the Paris peace settlements suggested nothing less than a New World Order, though hardly an uncontested one. Vladimir Lenin’s bolshevism was the first of several revolutionary ideologies that would pose a serious threat to the new status quo.

- [Károlyi & Bethlen](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/karolyi-bethlen/) - Mihaly Karolyi (1875-1955) was brought to power after a revolution as Head of a National Council. He soon concludes an armistice, which leaves large areas of Hungarian territory under occupation by French, Romanian and Serbian forces. After Communists fail to stem the advances of Romanian forces, the Peace Conference, in 1920, dispatches a British diplomat who invites a delegation to come to Paris, which includes Istvan Bethlan(1874-1946). Hungarians are appalled to find that the treaty will deprive their country of two thirds of her territory and over half of her population. The injustice of the treaty will drive Hungary into the arms of Nazi Germany, a fatal alliance which will doom Hungary's Jews to annihilation and Hungary to defeat and destruction in the Second World War.
- [William Hughes](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/william-hughes/) - The First World War marked the emergence of the Dominions on the world stage as independent nations, none more so than Australia. The country s sacrifice at Gallipoli in 1915, and the splendid combat record of Australian troops on the Western Front not only created a national awakening at home, but also put Great Britain in their debt, ensuring them greater influence at the Peace Conferences. Australia was represented at Versailles by the Prime Minister, the colourful Billy Hughes, whom Woodrow Wilson called a pestiferous varmint after their repeated clashes over Australia s claims to the Pacific Islands its troops had taken from Germany during the War. Hughes was also the most vociferous (though by no means at all the only) opponent of the racial equality clause put forward by Japan. Indeed, it was fear of Japanese expansion that drove Australia s territorial demands in the Pacific.
- [Water Resources](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/water-resources/) - Water is a vital part of every ecosystem on the planet. It is a prerequisite for the basic function and productive efficiency of life on Earth. Today, approximately a third of the earth's population suffers because of water scarcity, and by the year 2025, this percentage is likely rise to two-thirds.

- [Overcrowded World?](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/overcrowded-world/) - Today our planet is home to 6.8 billion people. By the year 2050, the global population will have grown to 9 billion. Yet the problems that will come with this massive expansion are not universal. Many developing nations will experience high demographic growth, while industrialized countries will have to deal with aging and eventually shrinking populations, as well as with more immigration. "Overcrowded World: Global Population and International Migration" offers a perspective on the causes and effects of rapid population change, and asks two vital questions: how can Earth sustain this growth and what can we do to improve the living conditions of present and future generations.
- [The Earth](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/the-earth/) - Population growth mainly occurs in fast-developing, and developing nations. Can earth sustain this growth? How will the power shift?

- [Feeding the Planet](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/feeding-the-planet/) - Almost a billion people all over the earth suffer from hunger and malnutrition.

Still, the worldwide lack of food will also pose a threatening problem to them.
- [Our Planet](https://www.hauspublishing.com/product/our-planet/) - For more than thirty years, scientists from various disciplines have warned that the constant increase in world population and exponential world economic growth are seriously threatening our ecosystems.
