The armistice with Germany, the most important of the five, was really a peace treaty in miniature. Bullitt Lowry, basing his account on a close study of newly available archives in Great Britain, France, and the United States, offers a detailed examination of the process by which what might have been only simple orders to cease fire instead became extensive diplomatic and military instructions to armies and governments. He also assesses the work of the leading figures in the profess, as well as supporting casts of generals, admirals, and diplomatic advisors. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xArmistices 606 $aHistory$zUnited States 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xArmistices. 615 0$aHistory 676 $a940.4/39 700 $aLowry$b Bullitt$f1936-$01870348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964505603321 996 $aArmistice 1918$94478764 997 $aUNINA
