July 1914: Countdown to War
A gripping history of the first month of World War I, in which the actions of a small group of statesmen unwittingly led Europe towards the greatest cataclysm it had ever seen.
This deeply-researched account reveals the story of the month that changed the course of the twentieth century, exploring how the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and its aftermath set off a chain reaction of events that would ultimately lead to war.
