A timely read that puts into context WWI with the era that proceeded it and outlines all the driving forces that culminated in the war.

This book covered many interesting topics leading up to WWI and I discovered that I was woefully uneducated on the subject! Even just about the key players from each country involved and the recent backgrounds of each one was extremely interesting to learn about.

Super long but super informative. I felt like I learned a lot and was constantly interested. If you find World War One as interesting as I do, then this deep dive into the political world that lead to it is extremely well done.

A crazy blizzard has completely shut my city down but on the plus side I have a fire going in the wood stove and the whole day to revisit some pre-WWI history! Let it snow ❄️💙❄️

I started this in 2014 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI, but it kept getting bumped to the bottom of my reading stack. Goal: finish it before the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI! But really, not letting myself read anything else until this one is done.
