Description
For six months in 1919, the fate of the world was shaped by a gathering of three leaders: President Woodrow Wilson, British prime minister David Lloyd George, and French premier Georges Clemenceau. In this landmark work of narrative history, Margaret MacMillan brings to life the dramatic and intimate story of those fateful days in Paris. The Big Three met to shape a lasting peace, but their negotiations were fraught with tension and disagreement. As they worked to redraw the borders of the modern world, new political entities emerged from the ruins of bankrupt empires. The result was a fundamentally changed landscape, with Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Palestine among the nations born out of the ashes. MacMillan's narrative history offers a gripping and insightful account of these pivotal months, revealing the complex web of alliances, rivalries, and compromises that defined the Paris Peace Conference.
