SynopsisNational Bestseller New York Times Editors' Choice Winner of the PEN Hessell Tiltman Prize Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize Silver Medalist for the Arthur Ross Book Award of the Council on Foreign Relations Finalist for the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award For six months in 1919, after the end of "the war to end all wars," the Big Three--President Woodrow Wilson, British prime minister David Lloyd George, and French premier Georges Clemenceau--met in Paris to shape a lasting peace. In this landmark work of narrative history, Margaret MacMillan gives a dramatic and intimate view of those fateful days, which saw new political entities--Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Palestine, among them--born out of the ruins of bankrupt empires, and the borders of the modern world redrawn.

Hightower recommended
The author does a great job explaining the issues prevalent during the peace process and really gets into the thinking that each of the leaders have. You will have an understanding of the personalities and activities of the peace conference participants that give you a feeling like you are right there in their midst. The geopolitical aims of the participants, the political rivalries, public opinion, the impact of past agreements, the atmosphere of Paris plus great quotes from the time period sprinkled throughout. This review is a bit premature since I am only 5 chapters in but its already a favorite of mine. This is a great read for anyone interested in history and politics.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
