It is addressed to the general reader, and anyone interested in history should find it an engaging, quick read.” —The Globe and Mail “The author maintains a tone of measured, reasoned and scholarly approachability … This is history used as its own best argument.” —Toronto Star “A good quick read … a timely read.” —Guelph Mercury Praise for Margaret MacMillan “MacMillan’s approach to history is to get under the skin of figures, to see them not so much as good or evil but as all-too-human actors struggling with a task of monumental difficulty even as they represented varying and conflicting interests.” —The New York Times “MacMillan is a worldly historian with a supreme gift for seeing the big picture … and telling the best story.” —The Globe and Mail “MacMillan provides a highly readable narrative which combines detail and approachability.” —The Guardian ALSO BY MARGARET MacMILLAN Nixon in China: The Week That Changed the World Women of the Raj Canada and NATO: Uneasy Past, Uncertain Future (editor) Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World Parties Long Estranged: Canada and Australia in the Twentieth Century (editor) The Uneasy Century: International Relations 1900–1990 (editor) Canada’s House: Rideau Hall and the Invention of a Canadian Home (with Marjorie Harris and Anne L.
