Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World»rank: 13735par: Richard Holbrooke
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:University of Toronto historian Margaret MacMillan failed at first to find a Canadian publisher for her account of the pivotal peace conference that followed the First World War and, some have said, laid the groundwork for the second, but when Paris 1919 won the Samuel Johnson Prize in the U.K., it returned home a bestseller and remained so for years.
