The story of how intelligent, well-meaning leaders guided their
nations into catastrophe. Immersed in intrigue, enlivened by
fascinating stories, and made compelling by the author's own
insights, this is one of the finest books I have read on the causes
of World War I
*Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State*
Once again, Margaret MacMillan proves herself not just a masterly
historian but a brilliant storyteller
*Strobe Talbott, President, Brookings Institution*
A masterful explanation of the complex forces that brought the
Edwardian world crashing down. Utterly riveting, deeply moving, and
impeccably researched, MacMillan's latest opus will become the
definitive account of old Europe's final years
