I found one of your books at my local Goodwill store and am wondering where I can find the answers to the chapter review questions? Is there a book with suggested answers that I can buy?

 –   Peace Treaty, Versailles 1919 - Harsh Terms
On page 31 of "On The Origins Of War" you discuss peace treaties that impose harsh terms on the losing side.
You made a comment "Such was the peace that Prussia imposed on France in 1871 or, as the common view has it, the victors imposed on Germany at Versaiile in 1919."
Do you not think that the peace terms were harsh and they were not a leading cause of the next world war?
Can you explain what you meant by that comment?

Just a short not after reading the introduction and about 1/3 through book.

As a background as a research scientist the ability to translate important information in Englisg that non-specialists can understand is , actually, more important than doing the research.

I have taught both my daughters how important it is to learn and history and science , are probably, the two most important areas where anybody can learn.

They both pertain to what is happening now and understanding them helps one understand life.

Writing a non-academic account of a historical or scientifis happening is an essential aspect of the research!

Book great and weel worth the problems you have probably encountered!

How about the same for the period of the Greek-Persion wars including Marathon?

I found this book extremely interesting and informative.
We have been assigned to read parts of it in my IB World History class. So far we have only read on World War I, but I plan to read it all!

There is a statement circulating on the internet which reads:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government." This is followed by a list of reasons why the Athenian Republic fell. Can you tell me the origin of this quote?
