On a summer morning in Sarajevo a hundred years ago, a teenager
named Gavrilo Princip took a pistol out of his pocket and fired the
opening rounds of the First World War. By killing Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Gavrilo Princip
started a cycle of events that would change the world forever.
Retracing Princip's steps from the feudal frontier village of his
birth to the great plain city of Belgrade and ultimately Sarajevo,
journalist and bestselling author Tim Butcher makes discoveries
about the assassin that have eluded historians for a hundred years.
Drawing on his own experiences in the Balkans as a war reporter
during the 1990s, he also unravels this complex part of the world
and its conflicts, showing how the events that were sparked that
day in June 1914 still have influence today. Part travelogue, part
reportage, and part history, The Trigger is a rich and timely work
about one of history's most crucial and least-understood
characters.
