BOOK REVIEWS
The history of the 1919 Paris peace talks following World War I is a blueprint of the political and social upheavals bedeviling the planet now. . . . A wealth of colorful detail and a concentration on the strange characters many of these statesmen were keep [MacMillans] narrative lively.
The New York Times Book Review
MacMillans book reminds us of the main lesson learned at such a high cost in Paris in 1919: Peace is not something that can be imposed at the conference table. It can grow only from the hearts of people.
Los Angeles Times
Beautifully written, full of judgment and wisdom, Paris 1919 is a pleasure to read and vibrates with the passions of the early twentieth century and of ours.
San Francisco Chronicle
MacMillan is a superb writer who can bring history to life.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
For anyone interested in knowing how historic mistakes can morph into later historic problems, this brilliant book is a must-read.
