The Compassion of War

About This Novel
"The Tragedy of War" raises a series of thought-provoking questions about the reasons for the outbreak of World War I: Could the war have been avoided? Did Britain's entry into the war play a decisive role? Would the outcome have changed if Britain had delayed entry into the war? Did Germany really go to war because of its overwhelming military superiority, as most people believe, or was it just fear that led to the attacks? As for the war itself, should Britain and Germany bear the same historical responsibility? Niall Ferguson analyzes the disaster that the war brought to Europe from a macro perspective. Through the study of a large number of historical materials and the memoirs of the parties involved, as well as the analysis of pre-war international relations, finance, economics, politics, and media propaganda, he guides readers to re-examine the war and unearth the profound roots of the concept of war.
