The King's Depart: The Tragedy Of Germany, Versailles and the German Revolution (1968) By Richard M. Watt
 
What began in 1918 with the church bells of victory and the hopes of Versailles ended a year later in the first appearance of Adolf Hitler as a political power, the beginnings of his fatal spell over a nation that in one year had known defeat, riots, starvation, bloody revolution from the Left, brutal suppression from the Right. The Versailles conference offered a moment when the victorious Allies might have imposed democracy on Europe, by means of peace with justice. This is the story of their failure: the Allies' rapacity, which drove a ruined Germany to seek vengeance; Woodrow Wilson's betrayal of his idealism; and Germany's collapse into revolution as right-wing terrorists and adventurers congregated under the Swastika banner and awaited der Führer.
