Résumé
Conventional wisdom has World War I as an unstoppable juggernaut over which politicians had little control, but Stevenson reveals that they deliberately took risks that led to war in July 1914, and remained very much in control during it. Far… from being overwhelmed by the scale and brutality of the bloodshed, leaders such as Lloyd George, Clemenceau, and Bethmann-Hollweg were making conscious choices at every step of the war, including the continued acceptance of astronomical casualties. c2004.
