EvansCreate CitationTable of contentsThis book makes two distinctive contributions to one of the most fundamental debates in modern European history. First, it presents readable and judicious accounts of the events and decisions directly precipitating the outbreak of war in each of the main belligerent countries; second, it assesses the role of public opinion and popular mood in determining and responding to the `July Crisis' of 1914. With a list of contributors who are all distinguished in different aspects of the subject, this stimulating survey covers the historiography of the immediate causes of the war, and includes new reflections on the character of the official and unofficial `mentalités' during the last weeks of peace. Contributors: Sir Michael Howard, Zbynek Zeman, R. J. W. Evans, D. W. Spring, Hartmut Pogge von Strandmann, Richard Cobb, and Michael Brock.Source: PublisherGet bookBuy DigitalThis editionAny editionBorrowEdit locationCancelCheck availability at libraries near youNo matching city or zip codeOther editionsSep 27, 1990199119881988Clarendon PressClarendon PressClarendon PressClarendonPaperback—Hardcoverebook189 pages189 pages189 pages189 pagesMore editionsCommon terms and phrases24 JulyallianceambassadorArdennesAsquithassassinationAugAugustAustria-HungaryAustrianBalkan WarsBelgianBelgiumBelgradeBerlinBethmann HollwegBosnia-HercegovinaBosnianBosnian crisisBritBritainBritishCabinetCfChurchillcitconflictCouncildecisiondefensivediarydiplomaticDr PappenheimDumaeconomicEmpireEntenteEuropeEuropeanffFischerfleetforcesMore terms and phrasesShow lessSimilar booksThe Origins of the First World WarBy William MulliganA second edition of this leading introduction to the origins of the First World War and the pre-war international system.
