Description

A hundred years ago, a single event set in motion a chain of events that would change the world forever. On a summer morning in Sarajevo, Gavrilo Princip took a pistol out of his pocket and fired the opening rounds of World War I. Journalist Tim Butcher retraces Princip's steps, from his birth in a feudal frontier village to the great plain city of Belgrade and ultimately Sarajevo. Drawing on his own experiences as a war reporter in the Balkans during the 1990s, he unravels the complex history of this pivotal moment and its ongoing influence today. Part travelogue, part reportage, and part history, The Trigger offers a rich and timely account of one of history's most crucial characters.
