## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Highly recommended.
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2014*

A concise yet in-depth examination of why Europe went to war in August 1914. The authors cleverly tell the tale as a series of "concentric circles" of the war's approach: the July Crisis diplomacy, the military and naval factors, the influence of the domestic politics of the various countries involved, how the economic conditions of Europe contributed (or didn't) to the breakout of war, the effect of imperial rivalries and finally, the "mood" and cultural assumptions of the peoples and leaders of Europe in that era. The result is a book that seems to examine all the important factors without drifting into either a narrative of diplomatic minutiae or an over-dependance on balance sheet charts to attempt to chart the course of the origins of the war. The writing is crisp and to-the-point throughout, and one comes away with a much firmer understanding of the underlying factors, as well as the mechanics of the breakout itself. Highly recommended.
