Review of The Long Road to War

Relatively interesting examination of the long series of events leading up to the First World War, taken from a particularly Balkan point of view. It still retains balance, with no party coming out particularly well (which is probably true). What is fascinating is how many opportunities there were to avoid this slide into catastrophe, and that ultimately when the worst indeed came to the worst all the protagonists were mortified.

The 1 or 10 out of 10 reviews are complete nonsense - from an outsiders perspective this looks like a reasonably subjective view of events.
