pp. [1-2], 3-298. 8vo., measuring 5.5" x 8". Publisher's navy-blue cloth over boards with gilt rules and lettering to the spine, publisher's blind-stamped monogram to the centre of the front board. Very light wear to spine ends, tips, one very faint spot to the front board, neat period ink name to front free endpaper, and pastedown, text-block remains without blemish; very good+. A uncommonly well-preserved offering of the First American Printing of this enormously popular, and consequential work. A scathing, near prescient, critique of the Treaty of Versailles by the venerable British economist and philosopher, wherein, the author warned that the punitive reparations demanded by the Allied powers would ultimately cripple Germany and sow the seeds of future conflict. A popular success, it shaped public and political discourse, reinforcing the widespread belief that the treaty imposed a "Carthaginian peace" designed to crush the Central Powers, particularly Germany, and would coalesce American opinion against the treaty and the League of Nations; While in Britain, the perception of Germany s unfair treatment would fuel support for the later appeasement policies of the British government towards Adolf Hitler, and Nazi Germany. The book would cement Keynes reputation as a leading economic thinker.
