Containment and Counter-revolution at Versailles
1918–1919(Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1968). A good
general survey is S. Marks, The Illusion of Peace:
International Relations in Europe, 1918–33*(2nd edn,
Penguin, 2003). J. Jacobson, Locarno Diplomacy
(Princeton, 1972) is based on new research. Also
important is P. Wandycz, France and Her Eastern Allies,
1919–25 (Minneapolis, 1962), and Soviet–Polish
Relations, 1917–21(Harvard, 1969). See also R.
Uliman, Anglo-Soviet Relations, 1917–21 (3 vols,
Princeton, 1961–7); F. P. Waiters, A History of the
League of Nations(2 vols, Oxford, 1952); H. A. Turner,
Stresemann and the Politics of the Weimar Republic
(Greenwood, 1979). Interesting contributions are to be
found in H. A. Turner (ed.), European Diplomacy
between Two Wars, 1919–1939*(Quadrangle, 1972).
Also useful are G. A. Craig and F. Gilbert, (eds), The
Diplomats, 1919–39*(2 vols, Athenaeum, 1963); and

1920–36(Royal Historical Society, 1978).

1929–32* (Macmillan, 1979) surveys the literature and
sums up. J. K. Galbraith, The Great Crash 1929* (new

Street: The International Economy, 1919–29(Allen Lane,

1929–39(Allen Lane, 1973). See also D. E. Moggridge,

United States, Depression and New Deal
There is a rich choice of stimulating general treatments.
See especially R. Hofstadter, The Age of Reform: From
Bryan to F.D.R.* (Vintage, 1973). For a good survey of
the period with bibliographical discussion, see R. S.
Kirkendall, The United States, 1929–45: Years of Crisis
and Change* (McGraw-Hill, 1974). See also W. E.
Leuchtenburg, The Perils of Prosperity, 1914–32*

Upheaval(Houghton Mifflin, 1957, 1959, 1960); and
H. Stein, The Fiscal Revolution in America* (Chicago,
1971). An outstanding treatment is W. E.
Leuchtenburg, Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal*
(Harper & Row, 1963). A valuable series of studies of
the New Deal can be found in J. Braeman, R. H.
Bremner and D. Brody, The New Deal(2 vols, Ohio,
1975). See also E. A. Rosen, Hoover, Roosevelt and the
Brains Trust(Columbia, 1977). A fine biography of
Roosevelt is F. Freidel, F. D. Roosevelt(4 vols, Little,
Brown, 1952- 73). Stimulating analysis in one volume is
J. MacGregor Burns, Roosevelt: The Lion and the Fox
(Harcourt, 1956). A good biography from outstanding
New Dealer is S. F. Charles, Minister of Relief : Harry
Hopkins and the Depression(Syracuse, 1963).

ries for the traumatic industrial breakdown of the mid-
