The plan is to begin reading Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World (A.K.A. Peacemakers: The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and Its Attempt to End War) immediately after the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War. I doubt I'll have finished the oft-interrupted Vanished Kingdoms by mid-November, but we shall see. I will also not be surprised if I "briefly" set aside either or both Vanished Kingdoms & Paris 1919 to read a shorter, Catholic book.
