Great book..."Paris 1919" by Margaret Macmillan.
Description from Amazon.com
For six months in 1919, after the end of “the war to end all wars,” the Big Three—President Woodrow Wilson, British prime minister David Lloyd George, and French premier Georges Clemenceau—met in Paris to shape a lasting peace. In this landmark work of narrative history, Margaret MacMillan gives a dramatic and intimate view of those fateful days, which saw new political entities—Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Palestine, among them—born out of the ruins of bankrupt empires, and the borders of the modern world redrawn.

Get the CD set, not the book itself. Although, since I went to public school, it helped to have a map handy during the descriptions of how Europe got cut up after WW1.
