Journal of Modern History

A detailed and well-researched study of what remains a little-known aspect of Anglo-German relations, this book provides a fascinating overview of the history of Britain's involvement in the occupation and disarmament of Germany following the First World War. As perhaps the most comprehensive account of the British military presence in interwar Germany yet published, this is a valuable addition to the literature on Britain's relationship with Germany in the first half of the twentieth century.

<i>The British in Interwar Germany </i>is a highly readable survey of the British occupation of Germany in the critical decade after the First World War. Williamson's extensive research include a mix of official documents and first-hand accounts of individual soldiers and statesmen that shed light on the frustrations and difficulties of those entrusted with enforcing the clauses of the Treaty of Versailles. Part foreign policy, part social history, <i>The British in Interwar Germany </i>brings to life the clash of British and French interests toward Germany, as well as the subtleties of life in British occupied Germany in those fateful years between the wars.
