The most challenging and provocative analysis of the First World War to date
Ian Kershaw
Must take a permanent place at the top of the War's historiography. It is one of the very few books whose own scale matches that of the events it describes

Brilliant and stimulating ... radical, readable and convincing

Paul Kennedy, New York Review of Books
At one massive stroke, Niall Ferguson has transformed the intellectual landscape
Economist
