Synopsis

In 1914, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Britain, France, and other nations plunged the world into war. The conflict would leave 37 million dead or wounded, destroy traditional social structures, eradicate ancient political systems, and usher in the bloodiest century in human history.

Taking an objective, comprehensive approach, author Paul Ham tells the story of the outbreak of World War I from the perspectives of different countries. From diplomatic maneuvering to the fire and smoke of the Western Front, from the scheming of the upper classes to the suffering and sorrow of ordinary people, this book attempts to answer one of the 20th century's most perplexing questions: Why did 1914 become "the year the world ended"?

I'm Out of Books to Read, Anything Goes, Though I Really Just Want Something Good

This is the mindset of the weak. Any kind of book is fine: great, sacred, divine, interesting, whatever. Fanfiction, original fiction, and everything in between. I want it all. Of course, I've already survived the tribulation in "White Snake," so I don't need that. And of course, "Ultraman Live-In Son-in-Law" is another one.
