À propos de cet audio

 Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize, renowned historian Margaret MacMillan's best-selling Paris 1919 is the story of six remarkable months that changed the world. At the close of WWI, between January and July of 1919, delegates from around the world converged on Paris under the auspices of peace. New countries were created, old empires were dissolved, and for six months, Paris was the center of the world. Bringing to vivid life the individuals who participated in the great Peace Conference, including Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Lawrence of Arabia, and Ho Chi Minh, Paris 1919 is a landmark work of narrative history.©2002 Margaret MacMillan Affaires mondiales Ancienne Guerres et conflits Militaire Monde Politique Politique et militantisme Présidents et chefs d'État Guerre Impérialisme Autodétermination Moyen Âge Moyen-Orient L’entre-deux-guerres Afrique Redevances Socialisme Japon impérial Russie Empire ottoman Iran Winston Churchill Union soviétique Franklin D.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This book is a treasure." (Booklist)
"MacMillan's lucid prose brings her participants to colorful and quotable life, and the grand sweep of her narrative encompasses all the continents the peacemakers vainly carved up." (Publishers Weekly)

Incrediably full of facts and information without being too bland. The narrator is good, albeit not great, and pleasing to listen to. Not always clear when she is reading a quote - other Macmillan books I have listened to, the narrator took on accents which nicely broke things up. But her voice is good and her pace with the constant onslaught of facts is good.

Informative and interesting

This is a great book, but only for dedicated history buffs.
I say that because in a lot of ways it could easily seem long and boring. The narration is very straightforward and not excited for over 25 hours!
But beyond that, the amount of information contained in this book is ridiculous. It provides a great primer on how the world was set up going into world war II and how and why many countries borders are the way they are today.

This book is very important to understanding modern history, but the facts are so enormous that the audiobook increases in value because of how much easier it makes it to digest. The book is well written and perfectly read, thoroughly researched and impactful.

Margaret MacMillan's text is thorough, detailed and fascinating. She brings alive the players in this significant part of 20th century history. The narration is excellent and despite it being 25 hours long, I found myself wanting more at the end. I plan to listen to it again! Thanks for bringing this to the air. I find it so much easier to 'read' non fiction in this way.

La conclusion est une des meilleurs jamais faite sur la relativisation du traité de versaille.

Très bon livre.

Politicians proved that they didn't have the skills necessary to successfully manage their old empires, and ultimately were replaced by CEO's and their respective boards. To conquer a country didn't require armed forces, but only needed distribution channels and effective marketing.

I thought I knew about the Peace treaties after WW1. I was mistaken. I learned so much. I put this book off for a while because I thought dry reading text book. Once again I was wrong. The delivery, in depth story telling and weaving the complexies into a narrative that made me not want to put it down The narrator was awesome

What a great history lesson!

The book’s for the most part arranged nation by nation, which is as good a way as any to organize such a massive amount of material. It’s an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to understand, at least in broad strokes, the last century.

I have to fault McMillan to some extent for glossing over Woodrow Wilson’s notorious racism. It doesn’t pass entirely unmentioned, but had the book been written more recently, it probably would have been front-and-centre, where it belongs.

The audio version’s good, particularly as regards French pronunciation (with which a lot of Anglophone narrators struggle), but I’d have preferred a somewhat less Patrician tone.

A very interesting overview
