Story4.5 out of 5 stars 348
The early summer of 1914 was the most glorious Europeans could remember. But, behind the scenes, the most destructive war the world had yet known was moving inexorably into being, a war that would continue to resonate into the 21st century. The question of how the Great War of 1914 began has long vexed historians. In a gripping narrative, Fromkin shows that hostilities were started deliberately and that two wars were waged, one serving as pretext for the other.

The author opened my mind to the intricacies and complications that led to WW1. Prior to his explanation, the archduke was assassinated and the world went to war was the explanation. The details were at times hard to follow, but gave an insight into what is the real complexities that accompany politics: no doubt, a blueprint for our times.
