Synopsis

A clear plan for steering postwar Europe

This book presents a practical argument for forming a minimum peace programme before negotiations end, to align Allied aims and prevent afterwar chaos. It also outlines why public opinion and accountable leadership matter in shaping durable peace.

The author argues that waiting to discuss terms can lead to fatigue, opportunism, or pro-German tactics. A pre-set programme with guarantees would help demobilize armies and guard against last‑minute concessions, while keeping the path to peace clear for all Allied peoples.
  • Learn why a minimum peace programme could guide negotiations and ensure commitments are kept.
  • See how potential German tactics might threaten the peace and how to guard against them in advance.
  • Explore ideas for reshaping Europe after the war, including new regional alignments and national visions.
  • Understand the role of informed public opinion and democratic leadership in steering a fair settlement.
Ideal for readers of policy analysis, wartime history, and grand-scale strategic thinking who want a grounded view of how peace might be planned rather than left to chance.
