Timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Armistice, this
new interpretation of World War I by one of our most exciting young
historians is likely to become the most read book on the subject
for some years. Engagingly written and incisive in its judgements,
it deals with its political background and military course, no less
than its economic consequences and enduring cultural significance.
From predictions of war to the enthusiasm to join up, and from the
horror of battlefields, Ferguson brings a narrative power and
lightness of touch. His provocative argument is that conflict in
1914 was far from inevitable, and that Britain's involvement
brought about a global nightmare. (Kirkus UK)
More than any other event, the First World War made the twentieth century what it has been. In this boldly conceived book, aimed to appeal not only to students but also to the general reader, Niall Ferguson explodes many of the myths surrounding the war.
