The story of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, when for six extraordinary months the city was at the centre of world government as the peacemakers wound up bankrupt empires and created new countries.

Between January and July 1919, after the war to end all wars, world leaders converged on Paris for the Peace Conference. At its heart were three great powers - Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau. The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; failed above all to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. Their goals - to make defeated countries pay without destroying them, to satisfy impossible nationalist dreams, to prevent the spread of Bolshevism and to establish a world order based on democracy and reason - could not be achieved by diplomacy.

It was a great listen, and the book is very good at going through the history of the treaty, and all the participants in an interesting and informative manner

Fantastic detailed story of the Treaty of Versailles

Nicely presented story of the peace conference which certainly informed my generic world view of “it was all their fault”

Highly interesting

The book is comprehensive and historically sound but it also tells a gripping story. I recommend it thoroughly

History written as a gripping story

Tremendous value: 25 hours for a book which never stops being lively. So many fascinating characters are vividly described.
& don't think this is about historical events with no relevance to life in 21st C: far from it! I hadn't realised before how much Eastern Europe was totally recreated by the Paris Conference of 1919, and created border conflicts that are resonating to this day.
Very well read too with a reader who took the trouble to pronounce foreign words (even Chinese) correctly.

This bk makes history swing; strongly recommended

Great book, comprehensive but still moves at a pace. Brought the key players in the peace conference to life and makes you feel invested (even though you know how it all ends)

Huge scale and scope made relatable
