The history of the 1919 Paris peace talks following World War 1 is a blueprint of the political and social upheavals bedeviling the planet now. MacMillan's 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. For anyone interested in knowing how historic mistakes can morph into later historic problems, this brilliant book is a must-read.
