Resumo:
"For six months in 1919, after the end of 'the war to end all wars, ' the Big Three - President Woodrow Wilson, British prime minister David Lloyd George, and French premier Georges Clemenceau - met in Paris to shape a lasting peace. In this landmark work of narrative history, Margaret MacMillan gives a dramatic and intimate view of those fateful days, which saw new political entities - Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Palestine, among them - born out of the ruins of bankrupt empires, and the borders of the modern world redrawn." Publisher.
