Enjoyable Reading from Beginning to End

This book is at the same time informative and a good read. The author covers a wide range of actors and situations, tracing threads of events that culminated in Wilson's League of Nations. Not simply focusing on real-politics, the author emphasizes the importance of each nation's internal struggles (e.g. class struggle), the extra-national movements like communism, and the striking changes in global consciousness that challenged both imperialism and liberalism alike.Excellent and fun read - highly recommended!
