Publisher's Synopsis
This insightful book provides a unique perspective on the events leading up to and during World War I. Belloc argues that the war was caused by a number of factors, including the rise of German militarism, the decline of British naval power, and the web of alliances that bound European powers to one another. He also explores the cultural and social impacts of the war, including the rise of totalitarianism and the decline of traditional values. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of the 20th century.
