I'll compare this book to Barbara Tuchman's seminal "Guns of August". This is a more complete and detailed review of the historical conditions and events that lead to the war. From an academic perspective this is a superior account to Tuchman's.
The author does create a narrative structure but the academic nature of the discussion sometimes drags. A excellent discussion is made of the conflicting nature of governmental policies and personalities
I would recommend this title for WWI buffs who are interested and motivated by the topic. For the novice or casual reader "Guns of August" would be a better choice.
The author has public lectures for viewing at the Gresham College, UK site. One of his lectures lead me the book.

The author provided me with a wider under standing of the many people and States involved in Middle Europe prior to World War I.
