Description
A World Undone: The Story of the Great War, 1914 to 1918 by G. J. Meyer In the summer of 1914, a single event sparked a chain reaction that would shake the foundations of Europe. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo sent monumental forces into motion, drawing in ambition, deceit, fear, jealousy, and miscalculation. This book tells the story of how the First World War unfolded, with its four long years of slaughter, physical and moral exhaustion, and the near collapse of a civilization that had dominated the globe. Drawing on exhaustive research, G. J. Meyer provides an intimate account of the events leading up to the war, and the tragic consequences that followed. From the British Cabinet to the Russian Empire, and from the Austro-Hungarian Empire's decline to the tragic folly of Gallipoli, Meyer's narrative is both instructive and readable.
