| Notes | Étienne Mantoux was an economist who opposed Keynes's views that the conditions of the Versaille treaty were too devastating to Germany - according to Mantoux, Germany should pay for the damage of the First World War in full. Mantoux himself was killed in the final days of the Second World War, and the poem thus demonstrates how bringing Germany to its knees after WWI also led, indirectly, to Mantoux's own death in the next war. This poem should be read together with "The Four" which precedes it in the collection. |
