The opening of this volume finds the Big Four in the midst of the gravest crisis of the peace conference, set off by the British cabinet's demand for drastic softening of the terms of the peace treaty to be concluded with Germany.

Beginning with Wilson's tour of Belgium, this volume then moves to the last days of the peace conference. A great wave of relief sweeps over council chambers in Paris when a new German government sends word that it will accept the peace treaty unconditionally: restoration of peace occurs with the signing of the treaty in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles on June 28.
