Overview

The Genoa Conference was one of the key events of European diplomacy between the two world wars . In 1922, thirty-four nations met for six weeks to restore peace between victors and vanquished, reestablish ties between Soviet Russia and the West, and promote the economic reconstruction of Europe. This is a scholarly study of the largest, most ambitious, and controversial of the many interwar conferences.

Reviews

A thoughtful, well-written, and carefully researched book.-- ""English Historical Review"" At last we have a scholarly study of the Genoa Conference and a very good one it is . . . Will surely become the standard work on the subject.-- ""International History Review"" Lucidly organized and crisply written, it demonstrates a mastery of the multiple, complex problems confronting European statesmen in the immediate post-1918 period. It is an exemplary illustration of the manner in which a circumscribed and ostensibly transitory event may, when examined in all its ramifications, clarify the broader period in which it is set. It is a compelling account of an important international initiative and of its failure, neither claiming too much for the former, nor exaggerating the baleful consequences of the latter. For its achievement in conception, execution, and literary grace, Carole Fink's work is a worthy winner of the prize.-- ""from the AHA Book Awards' Committee citation""
