Wilsonian Moment - Manela, Erez (Dunwalke Associate Professor of American History, Dunwalke Associate Professor of American History, Harvard University)

This book tells the neglected story of non-Western peoples at the time of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, showing how Woodrow Wilson's rhetoric of self-determination helped ignite the upheavals that erupted in the spring of 1919 in four disparate non-Western societies--Egypt, India, China and Korea.
