Quite even handed on the war guilt question, and the bibliography is useful to the student. My copy was the 1972 edition. ( ) Good book; well written. Not too much new regarding 'the origins of the First World War'. However......what I did find interesting and new in this work is the emphasis on Austria-Hungary in reviewing the origins of the war. The author goes back to the German Wars for Unification to lay out how AH was starting to loose its status as a Great Power. He argues quite adequately how the efforts of AH to maintain status had a large contribution in starting the war. I won't say any more other than this. If you want a different view on the early origins of the war, read this book. It will be worth you time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In analyzing the causes of World War I without concern for the question of guilt, the author places emphasis on two central facts: first, that when statesmen and peoples took actions they knew might lead to war, they were not envisaging the catastrophe that the war became but rather a quick and limited war; and, second, that among the many conflicts that might have led to war, the one that did was the threat to the integrity of Austria-Hungary posed by Serbia and Serb nationalism.
