The Origins of the First World War by Annika Mombauer
The origins of the First World War have always been difficult to establish and have aroused deep controversy. Tracking the debates as they developed at critical points through the twentieth century this book focuses on the controversy itself, rather than the specific events leading up to the war.
"essential reading" BBC History "readable, informative and lucid.. the book [has] a passionate feel that makes for a good read and provides a clear line of argument" Matthew Hughes, Reviews in History
"a valuable and essential analysis that should be studied with care by anyone trying to understand not just the war itself but much of twentieth century historical writing.' Contemporary Review
"Mombauer's book is to be welcomed... [she] manages to provide even the most seasoned scholar in this field with much else to think about."
Gaynor Johnson, Bolton Institute, History
Annika Mombauer lectures in Modern European History at The Open University. Her publications include the recently published Helmuth von Motke and the Origins of the First World War CUP (2001).
