Notes
This book was presented to the Collection by Mr. Hubert Ross. The price quoted is our estimate of its value. This is a widely acclaimed history of World War 1 which may forever change our understanding of this pivotal conflict, countering the common assumption that politicians lost control of events, and that the war, once it began, became an unstoppable machine. Stevenson contends that politicians deliberately took risks that led to war. According to Stevenson, the disturbing reality is that the cause of the war was the result of conscious choices - including the continued acceptance of astronomical casualties.
