'The most original of First World War centenary books; it is a
travel narrative of rare resonance and insight' Sunday Times On a
summer morning in 1914, a teenage assassin fired the starting gun
for modern history. It was a young teenage boy named Gavrilo
Princip who fired that fateful shot which killed Archduke Franz
Ferdinand in Sarajevo and ultimately ignited World War War. A
hundred years later, Tim Butcher undertakes an extraordinary
journey to uncover the story of this unknown boy who changed our
world forever. By retracing Princip's journey from his highland
birthplace, through the mythical valleys of Bosnia to the fortress
city of Belgrade and ultimately Sarajevo, he illuminates our
understanding both of Princip and the places that shaped him while
uncovering details about Princip which have eluded historians for
more than a century. 'A masterpiece of historical empathy and
evocation...This book is a tour de force' Guardian
