This remarkable account tells the story of how, in its first two
years, the First World War reduced Europe's mightiest empires to
rubble, and cracked the foundations of the world. On a summer day
in 1914, a nineteen-year-old Serbian nationalist gunned down
Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. In less than a month, a
combination of ambition, deceit, fear, jealousy, missed
opportunities and miscalculation sent Austro-Hungarian troops
marching into Serbia, German troops streaming toward Paris, and a
vast Russian army into war, with Britain as her ally. No one could
guess what lay ahead: years of slaughter, physical and moral
exhaustion, and the near collapse of a civilization that until that
moment had dominated the globe.
