"Jannen's explanation of entangling treaties and alliances, diplomatic ignorance and miscalculation, chauvinism, and pride is exciting and frighteningly real. This book is a perfect companion to Barbara Tuchman's GUNS OF AUGUST".--LIBRARY JOURNAL. "An object lesson in history that affords resonant behind-the-scenes perspectives on the games great and small powers play in time of peril".--KIRKUS REVIEWS. 20 photos. 480 pp.
