WINNER of the International Affairs Book of the Year at the
Political Book Awards 2014Longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize
2013 The First World War followed a period of sustained peace in
Europe during which people talked with confidence of prosperity,
progress and hope. But in 1914, Europe walked into a catastrophic
conflict which killed millions of its men, bled its economies dry,
shook empires and societies to pieces, and fatally undermined
Europe's dominance of the world. It was a war which could have been
avoided up to the last moment-so why did it happen? Beginning in
the early nineteenth century, and ending with the assassination of
Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand, award-winning historian Margaret
MacMillan uncovers the huge political and technological changes,
national decisions and -- just as important-the small moments of
human muddle and weakness that led Europe from peace to disaster.
This masterful exploration of how Europe chose its path towards war
will change and enrich how we see this defining moment in our
history.
