"The Versailles Peace Treaty, the pact that ended World war I between the German empire
and the Allies, has not enjoyed a positive reputation since its signing in June 1919.
Conventional wisdom has it that the treaty's requirements for massive reparation payments
crippled the economy of the Weimar Republic and destabilised its political life. Ultimately,
it is argued, the peace prevented the seeds of democracy sown in the aftermath of
the Great War from flourishing, and drove the German people into the arms of Adolf
Hitler. ... Jürgen Tampke disputes this commonplace view. He argues that Germany got
away with its responsibility for World War I and its behaviour during it: that the
trety was nowhere near as punitive as has been long felt; that the German hyper-inflation
of the 1920s was at least partly a deliberate policy to minimise the cost of paying
reparations and that World War II was a continuation of Germany's longstanding war
aims."--Book jacket
