New Hardback

Postscript summary

Beginning with a broad picture of the end of the First World War, from the Russian Revolution which effectively ended that country’s involvement through to a final uneasy peace, Charles Emmerson depicts a world that was in turmoil but also ready for change. Taking in new technologies, ideas such as psychoanalysis and flourishing artistic movements, he evokes the era and the extent to which lives were transformed.
