The League On Trial Routledge Revivals

The League of Nations was a multilateral organization that attempted to prevent war. It was founded in the early 20th century and had a limited amount of success. This book is a collection of short sketches about the League of Nations written by a variety of different people. It provides a unique perspective on the organization and its diplomatic culture.

First published in 1933, this title presents the inner workings and diplomatic culture of the League of Nations in Geneva, at a time when the increasing strain of international relations was beginning to take its toll and disillusionment towards the League was growing. Written as a series of short sketches, Max Beer's communicates a variety of insights into the League of Nations. Delving into the machinations and bewildering configurations of diplomatic relations that predominated, while at the same time maintaining a very human perspective, this volume represents a unique resource for students of this period in European politics.
