A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price We Pay Today by David A Andelman

"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. Our president Woodrow Wilson was the sorcerer for this hope, and he kindled great expectations in people everywhere. David Andelman, a classic reporter and storyteller, tells this fascinating tale of hope falling finally and forever on the shoals of naivete and hard-headed cynicism." - Leslie H. Gelb, former columnist for the New York Times and President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations
