Books, Manuscripts
The peace conference in Paris at the end of World War I was the first and last moment of pure hope for peace in the history of world affairs. President Woodrow Wilson was the sorcerer for this hope. This book tells this fascinating tale of hope falling finally and forever on the shoals of naivete and hard-headed cynicism.
