Editorial Reviews

Review

"Here at last we have that balanced, learned account which will make it easily the best guide to this complicated and important topic. The structure and layout of the book are admirable; the style is clear and flowing; and the erudition and clarity of argument convincing." --Paul Kennedy, The Sunday Times

"Zara Steiner has the control of sources and the mastery of detail that are taken for granted in Cambridge dons." --The Economist

Zara Steiner's book is a sober, sensible account of how this country became impelled into the First World War. She is a very good historian, with exceptionally balanced judgement. --C.P. Snow, Financial Times

[Steiner's] brilliant exposition provides many ideas to argue over and some to agree with. --A.J.P. Taylor, The Observer
