Опираясь на новейшие исследования, историк Кристофер Кларк предлагает свежий взгляд на Первую мировую войну, сосредотачивая внимание не на полях сражений и кровопролитии, а на сложных событиях и отношениях, которые привели группу благонамеренных лидеров к жестокому конфликту. Кларк прослеживает путь к войне, подробно рассматривая, как принимались ключевые решения в Вене, Берлине, Санкт-Петербурге, Париже, Лондоне и Белграде, и обращается к предшествующей истории, приведшей к событиям 1914 года, взаимному непониманию и непреднамеренным сигналам, всего за несколько недель вызвавшим полномасштабный кризис.

Bahnbrechende neue Erkenntnisse über den Weg in den Ersten Weltkrieg 1914 Lange Zeit galt es als ausgemacht, dass das deutsche Kaiserreich wegen seiner Großmachtträume die Hauptverantwortung am Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs trug.
