Peacemakers
Margaret Macmillan, John Murray

This book brings together the personalities, ideals and prejudices of the people who shaped the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, after ‘the war to end all wars’.  Macmillan argues that the peacemakers – at its heart the three great leaders Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau - have been unfairly made scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later; it offers a prismatic view of the moment when much of the modern world was first sketched out.
