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.

"Absorbing, balanced, and insightful narrative of a seminal event in modern history."

Kirkus, 08/01/2002

"[W]ith PARIS 1919 [MacMillan] has written a very good history of the negotiations, full of colorful detail and as comprehensive as anyone could wish....MacMillan...is particularly good at describing and characterizing individuals, not only leading figures like Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau, but also peripheral actors like Queen Marie of Romania and a string of hapless supplicants from Beijing to Budapest."
