Reviews

[Legens · Rating 4 out of 5]

Engagingly written account of the Versailles negotiations which stresses the immense task the peacemakers faced in reconciling their various ideological and pragmatic goals.

[Stuart Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

A detailed account of the discussions that resulted in the imperfect outcomes of World War I. Unlikely to appeal to casual readers.
