Average Rating: Rating: - Historical Page Turner This book is pure magic! It is one of the few history books that one can not put down -- a true page turner. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to better understand our past and what our future might hold. Brilliant! Rating: - This Book Deserves Every Award It's Won... So much has been written about the First World War, with comparatively little written about the "Peace" that ended it. This book fills that gap, and does it with beautiful, engaging writing. It's history writing at its very best. Rating: - Impressive, Thorough, Encompassing Six months that changed the world, indeed. It is not often these days that a subtitle for a work of history that claims so much (and they often do) is actually accurate. Margaret Macmillan, in Paris 1919, backs up her subtitle completely in this brilliant work of history. The book examines the Paris Peace Conference in all its glory and all its infamy. Four, and sometime only three, men sat in a room and decided the future of the countries of the world and the fate of millions of people. It is both that simple and, equally, that complicated. This book brilliantly portrays these men but also, with just as much genius, many of the lesser officials who attended on behalf of either themselves or their (sometimes prospective) nations. So many sources are used, from either official documents to private letters, from so many countries that the book feels all-encompassing which is appropriate considering its vast topic, even, god bless the author, the little colony of Newfoundland finds space for a mention. This book will be the one to challenge in this new century concerning the peace conference as Keynes' was the one last century. A very impressive work and highly recommended.
