Description

The world will never see another peace conference like the one which took place in Paris in 1919. For six months, the world’s major leaders—including Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, David Lloyd George, prime minister of Great Britain, and Georges Clemenceau, prime minister of France—met to discuss the peace settlements which were to end World War One. They faced huge issues and, as the weeks went by, their agenda grew. Because Paris saw such a concentration of power, the world’s problems came before it and petitioners for political, social, and economic causes came to get a hearing.

Margaret MacMillan received her Ph.D. from Oxford University and was the first woman ever to win the BBC 4 Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction. She is also the granddaughter of former British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, one of the signers of the Treaty of Versailles.
