Between January & July 1919, after the war to end all wars, men & women from all over the world converged on Paris for the Peace Conference. At its heart were the leaders of the three great powers
- Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George & Clemenceau. Kings, prime ministers & foreign ministers with their crowds of advisers rubbed shoulders with journalists & lobbyists for a hundred causes
- from Armenian independence to women`s rights. Everyone had business in Paris that year
- T.E. Lawrence, Queen Marie of Romania, Maynard Keynes, Ho Chi Minh. There had never been anything like it before, & there never has been since. For six extraordinary months the city was effectively the centre of world government as the peacemakers wound up bankrupt empires & created new countries. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China & dismissed the Arabs, struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, & of a homeland for the Jews. The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; failed above all to prevent another war. Margaret Mac Millan argues that they have unfairly been made scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. They tried to be evenhanded, but their goals
- to make defeated countries pay without destroying them, to satisfy impossible nationalist dreams, to prevent the spread of Bolshevism & to establish a world order based on democracy & reason
- could not be achieved by diplomacy. This book offers a prismatic view of the moment when much of the modern world was first sketched out.

About this series: Landmark Visitors Guides present the reader with a detailed, wide-ranging, & easy-to-read overview of an area, making them not only useful guides while on a trip, but also an ideal way to get acquainted with an area before you go.
