Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Studies the origins, financing, and outcome of World War I, and discusses public support, recruiting and retention of soldiers, treatment of prisoners, and related issues.


Review:

"The single greatest strength of Niall Ferguson's vigorous and combative dissection of the war is that it reinstates the centrality of finance....[it] eschews narrative to confront ten propositions. They focus on the central and...unnecessary confrontation between Germany and Britain, and they reveal rather more about the war's causes and economic consequences than they do about its course. In answering his own questions, Ferguson is often brilliant, sometimes tendentious, and always interesting. But his selectivity is the reason why the individual arguments are greater than the whole."

Hew Strachan, Literary Review, November 1998
