      abstract = {This is a highly original and revisionist analysis of  British and American efforts to forge a stable  Euro-Atlantic peace order between 1919 and the rise of  Hitler. Patrick Cohrs argues that this order was not  founded at Versailles but rather through the first 'real'  peace settlements after World War I - the London  reparations settlement of 1924 and the Locarno security  pact of 1925. Crucially, both fostered Germany's  integration into a fledgling transatlantic peace system,  thus laying the only realistic foundations for European  stability. What proved decisive was that key  decision-makers drew lessons from the 'Great War' and  Versailles' shortcomings. Yet Cohrs also re-appraises why  they could not sustain the new order, master its gravest  crisis - the Great Depression - and prevent Nazism's  onslaught. Despite this ultimate failure, he concludes that  the 'unfinished peace' of the 1920s prefigured the terms on  which a more durable peace could be founded after 1945.},
