    About this ebook

    This work presents accounts of Coningsby Dawson's Europe tour after World War I in late 1920. He immediately witnessed the disastrous economic effects of the Paris Peace Conference. The book contains descriptions of the gut-wrenching state of the starving children. The details of the difficulties faced by women were a cry for help. War atrocities were unimaginable during that period, and Dawson, with his words, managed to present them accurately, evoking every emotion of the readers.
