The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914

In gripping detail and drawing on fresh sources, distinguished historian Christopher Clark reveals with The Sleepwalkers how Europe's crisis unfolded, tracing the path to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative. 

Examining the decades of history that informed the events of 1914, as well as the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks, The Sleepwalkers is a meticulously researched and masterfully written account of one of the most compelling dramas of modern times. 

"Stylishly written with superb scholarship.  No analysis of the origins of the First World War will henceforth be able to bypass this magisterial work.” -- BBC History
