The Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) and Its Aftermath
This volume offers a number of perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and its fallout, providing new insights into this crucial point in twentieth-century history from the perspectives of the Great Powers and the small countries struggling for independence, looking at the winners, the losers and the neutral parties. Each chapter offers a detailed examination of a case dating from 1919–1920, or from the aftermath of the Conference. It will be of interest to historians and students of international relations and political science, as well as anyone who wishes to gain a broader perspective on this crucial moment in twentieth-century history.
The Paris Peace Conference and Its Consequences in Early-1920s Europe
The Paris Peace Conference had significant ramifications across Europe, felt by the Great Powers, but also by small states struggling for their recognition and independence, setting the stage for the Second World War. Despite the importance of this conference, many perspectives from European historians remain inaccessible to international audiences because they have not yet been published in English. This has led to a marginalization of voices from some of the countries which have been the most affected by the fallout from the conference. This book remedies this by providing access to the latest research on the topic, based on primary sources and critical analyses of existing publications.

Politics and Peasants in Interwar Romania
The volume discusses the integration of peasants into the nation building project of Greater Romania with a focus on social and cultural practices. Thus, it addresses one of the key questions of the new political system in post-imperial East Central and Southeast Europe. It advocates a shift from a multiple top-down perspective (capital – province, urban political elites – rural voters) to an analysis concentrating on regionally diverse rural societies with a special interest in the predominantly ethnic Romanian population.
Italy in the New International Order, 1917–1922
This edited collection offers the first systematic account in English of Italy’s international position from Caporetto – a major turning-point in Italy’s participation in the First World War – to the end of the liberal regime in Italy in 1922. It shows that after the ‘Great War’, not only did Italy establish itself as a regional power but also achieved its post-unification ambition to be recognised, at least from a formal viewpoint, as a great power. This subject is addressed through multiple perspectives, covering Italy’s relations and mutual perceptions vis-à-vis the Allies, the vanquished nations, and the ‘New Europe’. Fourteen contributions by leading historians reappraise Italy’s role in the construction of the post-war international order, drawing on extensive multi-archival and multi-national research, combining for the first time documents from American, Austrian, British, French, German, Italian, Russian and former Yugoslav archives.
Dall’Impero asburgico alla Grande Romania. Il nazionalismo romeno di Transilvania fra Ottocento e Novecento
Il volume segue l'evoluzione del nazionalismo romeno di Transilvania dalla fine dell'Ottocento agli anni Trenta del Novecento, esaminando il pensiero e l'azione di politici e intellettuali che prima tentarono di preservare l'identità nazionale romena nel contesto dell'Impero asburgico e poi, con la costituzione della Grande Romania nel 1918, adeguarono il loro nazionalismo alla nuova situazione istituzionale, venendo allo stesso tempo influenzati dagli eventi che si stavano sviluppando nel resto d'Europa: la rivoluzione bolscevica, le contraddizioni socio-economiche postbelliche, la nascita dei movimenti fascisti. Lo studio del caso transilvano permette di approfondire alcune dinamiche peculiari del nazionalismo moderno, capace di modificare anche in modo drastico i propri punti di riferimento ideologici, pur nel permanere di un nucleo forte centrato sull'idea del primato della nazione, e in grado quindi di aderire alle più diverse espressioni politiche della modernità: dal liberalismo alla democrazia, dal radicalismo etnico al totalitarismo etnocratico.--

The Astrologer
In the darkest days of the Second World War, with Europe falling under German occupation and Britain facing invasion, a 36-year-old refugee from the Nazis, Louis de Wohl, made a curious offer to British Intelligence. Based on the widely-held belief that Hitler's every action was guided by his horoscope, de Wohl claimed he could reveal precisely what advice the Fuhrer's astrologers were giving him. Rather than being dismissed out of hand as a crank, Churchill could see de Wohl's worth for himself. He was subsequently made an army captain and quartered in the Grosvenor House Hotel, from where he passed detailed astrological readings to the War Office and Naval Intelligence, before being transferred to work for the SOE in the United States. Was it possible that senior military and naval intelligence officers could take the ancient and arcane practice of astrology seriously? And was de Wohl genuine or merely a charlatan? In The Astrologer, author James Parris examines the evidence, including recently released files, and reaches remarkable conclusions about this bizarre aspect of the war.
