Condition Continued: Their bindings are very solid. The pages are nicely tight from cover to cover, and the covers are nicely tight as well. Volume II has a thin space with a little webbing showing at the juncture between its frontispiece and the facing title page. Both pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. Volume II also has a thin space over the bottom 3/4's of the juncture between its rear inside cover and rear end paper with some webbing showing. However all the paper is present and can be glued back into place over the slightly opened space. This rear cover is very tightly bound. There are no other instances of a space at any juncture in Volume II, and there are none at all in Volume I. The pages in both volumes are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I didn't find any soiling at all. The inside covers and end papers are also clean. There are a number of illustrations in both volumes. They are all in excellent condition and clean. The bump to the front top corner of Volume II created a mild crease over a good number of early pages, nothing touching the print. Otherwise there is very little creasing in the volumes and only mild where there is. There are no placeholder creases, no turned-down corner creases. There are no tears on any the pages. I counted 49 pages (out of 735) in Volume I that have light penciling (Only penciling-- which can be erased), some with just one little line at the margin, some with underlining of sentences. In Volume II there are only 20 such pages (out of 700), 16 of them in one section on Poland. There is a penned name off the top edge of the blank front end papers in both volumes,1938 written below each. It might be the name (maybe a reach, hard to read) of a W.E.E. Ellers ( 'In 1938, W.E.E. Ellers authored an influential article titled 'Standardisatie van scheepsvormen'--Standardization of ship shapes. Ellers, a naval architect for the Royal Netherlands Navy, wrote the piece for the Dutch journal Schip en Werf '). Finally, there are no markings or stampings in either volume. And there are no attachments of any kind in either volume. 

Victor Gollancz, London, 1938. First Edition (NAP; Victor Gollancz first editions=NAP, 1938 on the title pages). Two-volume set. 

'The Truth About The Peace Treaties is a two-volume historical account by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, published in 1938, that offers his perspective on the Paris Peace Conference and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles. The book provides a detailed summary of the conference's proceedings, offering his justifications for the treaties' terms, his political maneuvering, and his assessments of the contributing nations' roles in shaping the postwar world. Lloyd George was a key figure at the Paris Peace Conference. 

The book presents Lloyd George's interpretation of why certain provisions were included or omitted, and he defends the treaties against criticisms, suggesting that failures were due to the refusal of nations to honor the agreements or inherent flaws in their provisions.'
