I bought this book in great anticipation because his book, "A Peace to End All Peace", was excellent, in my opinion. However, I was quickly disappointed. The author is definitely in the camp that holds Germany and Austri-Hungary solely responsible for the war while the Allies were earnestly doing everything for peace. A major issue with me was his assertion that Austria's troops went first to the Serbian front, then to Galicia. Only the 2nd Army did this, while the bulk of Austria's troops were deployed to Galicia and only two weak armies faced Serbia at the start, the real reason for failing to defeat Serbia.
This is a excellent book on those who caused the "Great War" (which is what is was called at the time), and why they did what they did.
