In this book, Niall Ferguson examines the First World War, demystifying many of the popular beliefs about the conflict. The author analyzes whether the sacrifice was worth it, whether the war was inevitable, and whether the Germans posed a real threat. He also explores the initial popular enthusiasm for the war and the reasons why soldiers continued to fight in such terrible conditions. Ferguson argues that the war was a disaster and the greatest mistake of modern history.
