Hastings, Max
Catastrophe: Europe goes to war 1914 - William Collins 2013 - xxxvii, 628 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates
Includes bibliographical references and index
In 'Catastrophe', Max Hastings answers how World War I could ever have begun. Ranging across Europe, from Paris to St. Petersburg, from kings to corporals, he traces how tensions across the continent kindled into a blaze of battles; not the stalements of later trench-warfare but battles of movement and dash where Napoleonic tactics met with weapons from a newly industrialised age.
