#2 This summer marks the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of WWI, and there have been several new books examining the beginnings of that dreadful conflict. Sir Max Hastings, following on his brilliant successes ARMAGEDDON & RETRIBUTION (about the last year of WWII vs. Germany and Japan respectively), has written a new book on the first year of WWI, CATASTROPHE 1914: EUROPE GOES TO WAR. In it, he sketches the conditions that brought about the conflict and then details the experiences of the soldiers, officers and civilians caught up in a whirlwind of violence that exceeded the expectations and desires of its principle actors. Hastings’ journalistic background provides a wonderfully humanizing element and a clear prose style for the accounts of humor, suffering and tragedy that fill the accounts of Europe’s descent into madness and oblivion.
