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.
Margaret MacMillan is a professor of history at the University of Toronto and an emeritus professor of international history at the University of Oxford. She is one of Canada's most distinguished researchers and writers.
