World War I: How Germany Blundered into War

The aim of this very short book is to demonstrate that in 1914 Germany blundered into an unplanned war. In the summer of 1914, Germany did not want a world war. In fact, in the summer of 1914, few could have predicted a general war characterised by industrial slaughter. It would be a falsehood to say that any individual or state wanted the chaos and destruction that we know recognise, with the hindsight of history, as the Great War. The Concert of Europe, a consensus among European powers that called for diplomatic consultation to preserve the status quo, had prevented a general war during previous crises. In 1914 it failed. The Great Powers, by their inaction and blindness, escalated a crisis until it turned into a conflict. Germany played a pivotal role in this escalation. This is an established fact that I do not seek to challenge. Yet, in no way did German decision-makers premeditate a coherent, objective driven war.
