This book was kindly donated to the Collection by Mr. Hubert Ross. The price quoted is our estimate of its value. The book examines why in 1914 a Balkan conflict escalated into a European war. It focuses on the decision making of each Power during the July/August crisis, and analyses the role of domestic politics, economies, cultural factors, militarism, imperialism, and the international political system. Attention is given to source material and to historiography, notably the controversy surrounding the work of Franz Fischer. There is an extensive annotated bibliography.
