Summary:

"Piecing together a fractured European continent after World War I, the Versailles Peace Treaty stipulated the long-term occupation of the Rhineland by Allied troops. This occupation, perceived as a humiliation by the political right, caused anger and dismay in Germany and an aggressive propaganda war broke out--heightened by an explosion of vicious racist propaganda against the use of non-European colonial troops by France in the border area."--Dust jacket.
