For the student of history who is tired of trawling through endlessly dry, regurgitated and inconclusive tomes, Annika Mombauer's account of the origins of the first world war is a refreshingly enlightening read. The senior lecturer in modern european history at the open university has cut straight to the essential questions surrounding this topic: why did it start and who carries the blame? No apologies here. no convuluted arguements without end, just plain source based histroy at its finest. From pre war german industrial expansionism to British colonial reactionism via French diplomatic shenanigans, Mombauer both enriches and reinvigorates one of the thorniest and dog-tired debates of the twentieth century. If you want to know about it, read this before others.
