520    Between January and July 1919, after "the war to end all 
       wars," men and women from around the world converged on 
       Paris to shape the peace. Center stage was an American 
       president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points 
       seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of 
       their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came 
       to security concerns and idealistic in his dream of a 
       League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict 
       peacefully, Wilson is only one of the characters who fill 
       the pages of this book. David Lloyd George, the British 
       prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard
       Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho 
       Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a 
       petition for an independent Vietnam. For six months, Paris
       was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers
       carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This
       book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and 
       prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They 
       pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and 
       dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of 
       Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews. The 
       peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; above 
       all they failed to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan
       argues that they have unfairly been made the scapegoats 
       for the mistakes of those who came later. She refutes 
       received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War
       II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations
       imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for 
       the Second World War.
