Synopsis

A provocative dramatic study of what sparked the Great War and who bears responsibility.

A courtroom drama unfolds the tangled forces behind Europe’s war, challenging readers to weigh motives, power, and humanity’s fate.

The work presents a "court" where History, Humanity, and a chorus of symbolic witnesses debate Complex causes—from treaties and diplomacy to commerce, journalism, and religion. Through vivid scenes and a cast of allegorical figures, it asks readers to consider how ideas, leaders, and social forces interact to shape history—with no easy answers.

• Explore the ideas that historians use to explain large conflicts.
• Meet personified forces like Humanity, History, Commercialism, Journalism, and Insanity.
• See how rhetoric, evidence, and witness testimony play into public understanding.
• Encounter a dramatic meditation on truth, censorship, and the price of war.

Ideal for readers of historical drama and philosophy who enjoy moral questions about power, responsibility, and the human costs of conflict.
