About the play:
The appearance of TIMES OF WAR AND PEACE matches an extraordinary moment because our country, because of its two major anniversaries, is undergoing a period of introspection, and reminds us that it is also necessary to open the windows to the great events of international life. This historical review has a present because we are facing a critical period in which it is indispensable to a great work of international reorganization.
This book presents the reader with four crucial moments of crisis and reorganization that have largely defined the profiles of our modernity:
• Thirty Years War and the Peace of Westphalia in the seventeenth century.
• The period Congress of Vienna and the Concert of Europe, from 1814 to 1815, at the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
• The First World War and the Paris Conference in 1919 that produced five international treaties. The best known is the Treaty of Versailles.
• The Second World War and the International reorganization period that began during the war and culminated in 1945 with the San Francisco Conference, which was formed the Organization of the United Nations.
TIMES OF WAR AND PEACE provides an overview of each of these times and a compelling description of the characters that influenced both armed conflicts and in peace.
