- An account of Europe’s descent into a largely inadvertent war in 1914 which draws upon comparison and analysis of complex archival sources from London, Paris, Rome, Berne, Oxford, Berlin, New York and Moscow. The key to understanding the descent of Great Power politics is to be found in the near-collective failure of statecraft by European rulers rather than abstract concepts such as the ‘balance of power’ or the ‘alliance system’ and offers a panorama of Europe on the brink and examines how decision-making led to a war that defined a century.
