At the close of the First World War, the boundaries of a shattered Europe hung in the balance, and the decisions made in London and Paris would redraw the map of the continent for generations to come. Land and Power: British and Allied Policy on Germany's Frontiers 1916-19 chronicles the complex and often contentious negotiations between Britain and its wartime allies as they grappled with the monumental question of where Germany's new borders should lie, weaving together diplomatic history, military strategy, and political calculation into a compelling and authoritative account. Harold I. Nelson presents a meticulous scholarly analysis of the policymaking process, drawing on archival sources to illuminate the competing national interests, imperial ambitions, and ideological pressures that shaped the post-war settlement. The work argues that the frontier decisions of 1916–19 were not merely cartographic exercises but deeply consequential acts of statecraft whose repercussions reverberated through the turbulent decades that followed — leaving the reader to consider whether the seeds of future conflict were sown not in the trenches, but in the conference rooms.
