Vingt-huit juin 1919, le jour où le monde conclut la paix à Versailles, on retrouve le corps d'Achim Feuerberg, assassiné dans un appartement parisien. Cet ex-soldat allemand se cachait sous une fausse identité... Pourquoi ce survivant du carnage risquait-il sa vie dans les coulisses du plus grand sommet diplomatique de l'histoire ? Entre Paris et Berlin, un flic exhume son passé trouble, ses liens énigmatiques avec l'Internationale socialiste et l'industrie chimique.

Bras droit de Georges Clemenceau, André Tardieu a été l'un des principaux négociateurs français du traité de Versailles du 28 juin 1919. Il en raconte la gestation et la difficile élaboration depuis la signature de l'armistice le 11 novembre 1918 et la conférence de Paris. Acteur et témoin privilégié, il défend avec brio la position française, déjà très critiquée notamment par le maréchal Foch, Bainville et Keynes, dans cet ouvrage publié en 1921 et qui n'avait jamais été réédité. Remarquable styliste, celui que Léon Daudet surnommait " le Mirobolant " est aussi et surtout un analyste hors pair en matière de politique étrangère. S'il insiste sur les résultats obtenus par son mentor (récupération de l'Alsace-Lorraine, réparations, démilitarisation de la rive gauche du Rhin, désarmement de l'Allemagne, etc.), il ne cache rien des fortes tensions avec les Alliés (Italie, Angleterre, États-Unis) et s'inquiète à bon droit de la fragilité d'un accord déjà handicapé par la chute de Clemenceau, la méfiance de Londres et le retour de Washington à l'isolationnisme. Un texte aussi intelligent que prophétique, dont la valeur est soulignée par Georges-Henri Soutou dans sa présentation. -- Quatrième de couverture

Private Charles Smith had been dead for close to a century when Jonathan Hart discovered the soldier’s small diary in the Baldwin Collection at the Toronto Public Library. The diary’s first entry was marked 28 June 1915. After some research, Hart discovered that Charles Smith was an Anglo-Canadian, born in Kent, and that this diary was almost all that remained of this forgotten man, who like so many soldiers from ordinary families had lost his life in the First World War. In reading the diary, Hart discovered a voice full of life, and the presence of a rhythm, a cadence that urged him to bring forth the poetry in Smith’s words. Unforgetting Private Charles Smith is the poetic setting of the words in Smith’s diary, work undertaken by Hart with the intention of remembering Smith’s life rather than commemorating his death.

With the benefit of hindsight, presenting the Treaty of Versailles as an example of ‘peace through law’ might seem like a provocation. And yet, the extreme variety and innovativeness of international procedural and substantial ‘experiments’ attempted as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and the other Paris Peace Treaties of 1919–1920 remain striking even today. While many of these ‘experiments’ had a lasting impact on international law and dispute settlement after the Second World War, and considerably broadened the very idea of ‘peace through law’, they have often disappeared from collective memories. Relying on both legal and historical research, this book provides a global overview of how the Paris Peace Treaties impacted on dispute resolution in the interwar period, both substantially and procedurally. The book’s accounts of several all-but-forgotten international tribunals and their case law include references to archival records and photographic illustrations.
