🎈4/$20 - Paris 1919 Six Months that Changed the World. Margaret MacMillan. 2001

4.1 on Goodreads. A landmark work of narrative history, Paris 1919 is the first full-scale treatment of the Peace Conference in more than 25 years. It offers a scintillating view of those dramatic and fateful days when much of the modern world was sketched out, when countries were created--Iraq, Yugoslavia, Israel--whose troubles haunt us still. Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize, the PEN Hessell Tiltman Prize and the Duff Cooper Prize. — 🚭 smoke-free home.
