...Versailles in 1919, the victorious Allied leaders assembled to make the world "safe for democracy." They succeeded only in making it safer for tyranny. The tragic peacemaking efforts of Georges Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson are an oft-told story. Yet their means and ends have rarely been presented in so finely detailed and lucid a book as this. The work is all the more remarkable because it was written by a 38-year-old part-time historian who doubles as an executive of a floor-materials company in Elizabeth, N.J.

A few noted subtle changes. A portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt has been replaced by one of Dwight Eisenhower; Woodrow Wilson, a hero of the President (though a Democrat), has succeeded Lyndon Johnson. "All those damn Indians," as one rubbernecker inelegantly described George Catlin's incomparable frontier paintings, have been banished from the upstairs corridor. Pieces from the White House vermeil collection have replaced Lady Bird Johnson...
