Reviews
'[Wilson's] finest hour, though, came after the war, says Brian Morton in the first of what Haus promises will be a 32-volume account of the postwar peace conferences. Wilson helped usher in the Treaty of Versailles;though that treaty has been criticised (of Wilson's 14-point peace plan, Clemenceau remarked that even God had only 10 commandments). But here Morton ably defends it - and Wilson - by arguing that the road to hell is better paved with good intentions than not paved at all.'
