About This Item
Princeton: Princeton U. P., 1996. 2nd printing. As New. 8vo.. dust jacket xiii + 307pp., b/w plates, text ills., notes, appends., bibliog., index, ÔIn a narrative account that runs from the beginning of a series of international crises in 1904 until the outbreak of the war, author points to changes in the balance of military power to explain why the war began in 1914, instead of at some other time. Russia was incapable of waging a European war in the aftermath of its defeat at the hands of Japan in 1904-5, but in 1912, when Russia appeared to be regaining its capacity to fight, an unprecedented land-armaments race began. Consequently, when the July crisis of 1914 developed, the atmosphere of military competition made war a far more likely outcome than it would have been a decade earlierÕ
