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.

"Beautifully written, full of judgment and wisdom, Paris 1919 is a pleasure to read and vibrates with the passions of the early twentieth century and of ours" - San Francisco Chronicle

I have not read this and I am unlikely to read it anytime soon. It was given to me as a gift and doesn't really interest me much.

Being given to a friend who enjoys historical narratives.

I was given the book to read by a friend (Thanks!). ...I plan to read it then release it.

CAUGHT IN VANCOUVER BC CANADA

My friend may like historical narratives, but he wasn't too fond of this particular historical narrative. His one word review: "dry". He said he read about 30-40 pages, so maybe it gets wet after that.. Now I'm going to let teacart have a go at it when we make a trade tomorrow. I will receive Fraud. Woo-hoo!

Got this book from jblueafterglow in trade for Fraud. Hooray for Wish Lists and generous BookCrossers! Thanks again, jblue...
