Geschichte
My new book, 'Peace at Last: A Portrait of Armistice Day, 11 November 1918', was published by Yale University Press in October 2018. '[Cuthbertson's] brilliant portrayal of Britain on the day that peace broke out; when people could believe there was an end to the war to end all wars. He weaves a wonderful tapestry of the mood and events across the country, drawing on a wide range of local and regional newspapers. It is accessible history at its best. [...] outstanding [...] wonderfully stimulating' (The Evening Standard, 8 November) 'In his absorbing and well-researched study, Mr. Cuthbertson, a professor of literature at Liverpool Hope University, shows how a day of spontaneity was tamed over time, as celebration morphed into commemoration. [...] "Peace at Last," despite its sometimes grim subject, is a pleasure to read and is full of fascinating tidbits.' (The Wall Street Journal, 12 November) 'Guy Cuthbertson's superbly researched and exhaustive survey of the day the Great War ended [...] One of the strengths of this fine book is that the reader has the sensation that he or she actually took part in what, at the time, was regarded as the greatest day in the history of the world [...] extensive context and understanding [...] Cuthbertson sets the scene expertly [...] this is as definitive a work as one could wish for about the day that saw the end of what was supposedly the war to end all wars.' (The Literary Review, November 2018) 'Peace at Last' was included in the Telegraph's 'what to read' feature on the year's best history books ('Christmas Books 2018').
