	Arounder: France: Paris: virtual tour, map
		So, if you find yourself in Paris, one of the first things you could do, would be to have a glance of the city from the Eiffel Tower.
		La Défense is another place you should not miss, in the west outskirt of the city: within the center for the industry and business, the biggest of Europe.
		At the Opera you will have the chance to watch some ballets, otherwise at the Moulin Rouge, you will have the chance to spend a different evening, where the polka ballet was born, or at the Crazy Horse, with its cabaret performance.

		Paris 1919 also contains a set of maps that illustrate the parceling of territory that was the hallmark of the peace conference.
		Paris 1919 illustrates this better than the rest, primarily because of the in depth attention given to each geographic location, usually up to the present day.

	RollingStone.com: Paris 1919 : John Cale : Review
		Paris 1919, by contrast, is pop-oriented with strong classical underpinnings.
		The subject of Paris 1919 is nothing less than the entirety of Western European high culture, viewed roughly from a post-World War I, Dada-Surrealist perspective.
		Paris 1919 is one of the most ambitious albums ever released under the name of "pop." In spite of and because of its irreconcilable contradictions, it requires a great deal of listening in order for its full implications to be perceived.

		Paris 1919 is uplifting and intimate without heavy-handed sentiment.

		She discusses the 1919 creation of Yugoslavia before explaining the Balkan wars of 1912-13, and covers the breakup of the Hapsburg Empire after discussing the small states that followed.

		Between January and July 1919, after the war to end all wars, men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace.
		For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries.
		She refutes received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for the Second World War.

	Paris 1919
		Paris 1919 is a fascinating book in the way it makes the case, almost unconsciously, against the importance of its subject.
		It was only in regions too weak and divided to resist (China, much of the Middle East) where what was done in Paris could be said to have "changed the world." And that was a change for the worse.
		But while the historical importance of what the peacemakers did is open to question, Paris 1919 is nevertheless an absorbing book.

	DVD Talk Forum - Any John Cale gurus?
		Paris 1919 is very lush orchestral rock (one of my favorite albums EVER), while Fear and Vintage Violence are more stripped-down rock albums.
		Paris 1919 and Vintage Violence are both fairly accessible (in my opinion), although I think Paris 1919 is the superior album.
		I also think that Paris 1919 is his best album and also his most accessible.

		Toward the end of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, the U.S. statesman, and future president, Herbert Hoover (who had fed so many dispossessed Europeans in recent years) got to see the terms being presented to a defeated Germany.
		But however insightful, they cannot have the perspective and historical vision of a book like "Paris 1919." MacMillan's portraits of the participants, including her great-grandfather David Lloyd George, are vivid and acute, but she never makes the mistake of attributing too much causality to individuals.
		MacMillan is in no way an apologist for the peacemakers of 1919, but she sees them fundamentally as the expression of their nations' attitudes and policies: "Power involves will, as the United States and the world are discovering today: the will to spend, whether money or lives.

		Paris 1919 is a very “literary” album and Cale at his most accessible.
		Paris 1919 is John Cale's finest album, a one-stop shop embracing orchestral rock (the title track, Child's Christmas in Wales), out and out rock 'n' roll (Macbeth), cod reggae (Graham Greene) and some of the most evocative ballads ever commited to tape (Half Past France, Andalucia).

	ParaPundit: Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World
		Whereas 14-18 is a slim, distilled work, MacMillan's Paris 1919 is more weighty -- a sustained study of six months' hectic negotiating as the allies tried to reach consensus among themselves on the demands that they would make of the defeated Central Powers.
		Nor would she agree with the authors of 14-18, who believe that the undoing of the peace conference lay in the contradiction implicit in the participants' use of World War I to justify the proceedings while endeavoring to make war impossible in the future.
		She believes that the failure of Versailles was due less to the bickering, vengefulness, and far-flung sentiments prevalent in 1919 than to the irresolution of the negotiators' successors and their unwillingness to enforce the settlement's terms.

		She makes the most of confrontations, which were numerous in Paris, and her thumbnail sketches of participants are always incisive and frequently judicious.
		As MacMillan notes, the Paris peace conference was disorganized, both in the early pleas of small powers before the Council of Ten and in the later sessions of the Council of Four, which darted from topic to topic.
		Then MacMillan reverts to May and June 1919 for the presentation of the Versailles treaty to the Germans, their reaction, reconsiderations, and the final signing in the Hall of Mirrors, plus a bit of aftermath.

	Vive le Canada - PARIS 1919 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		PARIS 1919 is a very decent book, just published, about the negotiations among the ‘big powers’ (Britain, Italy, the U.S., Japan, and France) to cut up the world to their likings at the end of the First World War (1914-1918) and — at the same time — to provide for an enduring peace.
		It is, without doubt, worth reading, despite my criticisms of it, so that one may learn (or re-learn) some of the things that knee-jerk imperialism, second-nature racism, capitalist economic competition, and folie de grandeur did to help recreate a world devoted to oppression, inequality, wars of subjugation, and looting of the Third and Fourth worlds.
		It is, moreover, at least significantly a consequence of 1919 and of the treatment of Soviet Russia.
