About this product
Product Information
The Amazon History Book of the Year 2013 is a magisterial chronicle of the calamity that befell Europe in 1914 as the continent shifted from the glamour of the Edwardian era to the tragedy of total war. In 1914 Europe plunged into the 20th century's first terrible act of self-immolation - what was then called `The Great War'. In this centenary year, Max Hastings seeks to explain both how the conflict came about and what befell millions of men and women during the first months of strife. `Catastrophe' offers some answers to the huge question `what happened to Europe in 1914?' Through Hastings's accustomed blend of top-down and bottom-up accounts from a multitude of statesmen and generals, peasants, housewives and private soldiers of seven nations, the book pricks myths and presents some striking and controversial judgements to offer an engrossing and deeply moving account of this misunderstood conflict.Product Identifiers

Brilliant eye opener to the horror of ww1
The ruthless german armies going through neutral Belgium and the useless russian command ! If done properly the Russian armies would have crushed the Germans from the outset therefore saving the world from communist takeover in 1917 and hopefully saving at 100 million lives taken by that stupid idea by Karl Marx!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
