"In 1911 the political climate in Europe took a turn for the worse. Bitter diplomatic exchanges, combined with a great acceleration in the armaments race, led remorselessly toward the catastrophe of 1914. European leaders lost their grip on events and the world plunged into the abyss. This book is the story of the diplomatic miscalculations which led to Sarajevo. In this brief and vital account, Professor Turner evaluates the tragic events and conflicting opinions which made the period prior to 1914 one of the most controversial in modern history.
