| Summary | "Peacemakers—Blessed and Otherwise" by Ida M. Tarbell is an observational account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the post-World War I context of the early 1920s. The book offers reflections and critiques on the Washington Conference on the Limitation of Armament, examining the hopes and realities surrounding international diplomacy aimed at preventing future conflicts. Tarbell's analysis focuses on the complexities of disarmament discussions and the emotional weight of negotiating peace among newly aligned nations. The opening of the book introduces the author's keen observations leading up to the conference, highlighting the contrasting emotions of hope and skepticism surrounding its potential. Tarbell paints a picture of the public sentiment, with some anticipating broad disarmament, while others express doubt about the efficacy of such international gatherings. She delves into the intricacies of the limitations on armament, discussing the various agendas and the personal interactions of delegates, foreshadowing the challenges and 'irritations' that the conference will face. With insight into the collective mindset of both leaders and civilians, Tarbell sets the stage for a detailed exposition on the dynamics of diplomacy and the human condition at this pivotal moment in history.
