DESCRIPTION:          \n`The Peace to End Peace. . . was signed . . .in th
 e ever-memorable Chamber of Horrors at Versailles’\n            --Sellar
  and Yeatman\, 1066 and All That.\n\nDespite later historiography\, the po
 pular impression of the Treaty of Versailles still largely reflects the po
 werful negative image of `the Carthaginian peace’ portrayed at the time 
 by J. M. Keynes in The Economic Consequences of the Peace as `one of the m
 ost outrageous acts of a cruel victor in civilised history’. Flagging up
  some of the counter-arguments\, this survey includes\, among the geopolit
 ical realities underlying the Treaty\, the strong undercurrent of `appease
 ment’ in the British delegation at the Peace Conference which helped to 
 drive revisionism and to sustain the enduring verdict on Versailles.  \n
