The book consists of personal memories of JM Keynes during his participation in the preparatory meetings of the Treaty of Versailles. His encounter with the German banker and advisor, Carl Melchior, makes him reflect on the folly of the participants, who sowed the seeds of the next global conflict. It is a highly recommended reading in the European context of early twenty-first century, when distrust and lack of empathy among the peoples and countries of Europe is living a dangerous comeback.
