Description

On a Knife Edge: How Germany Lost the First World War

This major new account of German wartime politics and strategy fundamentally revises our understanding of the country's war effort. Holger Afflerbach examines the struggles between supporters of peace and hardliners who wanted to fight to the finish, revealing that Germany was not nearly as committed to all-out conquest as previously argued.

New evidence from diaries, letters, and memoirs sheds light on the opportunities for peace advances that could have ended the war before it dragged Europe into the abyss. Afflerbach's analysis offers a fresh perspective on one of the most pivotal conflicts in history.
