Publisher's Synopsis
"How the War Came" offers a detailed examination of the diplomatic events leading up to World War I, as perceived by key figures involved. Primarily focusing on the perspective of Viscount Edward Grey of Fallodon, the British Foreign Secretary during the critical years, the book provides insights into the complex web of alliances, negotiations, and miscalculations that culminated in the outbreak of hostilities.
Grey's account, supplemented by additional perspectives and documents, sheds light on the British government's efforts to maintain peace and the challenges it faced in navigating the escalating tensions between European powers. The book serves as a valuable historical document for understanding the causes of the war and the decisions made by political leaders during this pivotal moment in history. Readers interested in the political and diplomatic history of the early 20th century will find this a compelling and informative resource.
