Whether the war can be avoided? Is the death meaningful? This book is not an ""exhaustive"" textbook about war. By inventing a new way, Niall Ferguson,a financial historian, writes this authoritative and classic work about World War . Different from the traditional point of view which places extra emphasis on the details of the battle and war strategies and tactics, it focuses on the significant impacts of war on the economic and social history. Aiming at the causes of World War I, the book presents a series of thought-provoking questions: Whether the war can be avoided? Whether Britain has played a decisive role by going to the war? Could there have been any changes in result if Britain had postponed their participating in the war? If it is true that Germany wages the war because it has absolute military superiority ---- like what most people think, or it is mere fear that has led to the attack? As for the war itself, should the United Kingdom bear the same historical responsibility as Germany? From a macro perspective, Niall Ferguson analyzes the disasters the war has brought to Europe. Through a research on a lot of historical materials and memoirs of people concerned and an analysis of the international relations, finance, economy, politics and media publicity before the war, he aims to guide readers to re-examine the war and dig out the deep roots of the war concept.
