When war broke out in Europe in 1914, it surprised a European population enjoying the most beautiful summer in memory. For nearly a century since, historians have debated the causes of the war. Some have cited the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand; others have concluded it was unavoidable.
In Europe’s Last Summer, David Fromkin provides a different answer: hostilities were commenced deliberately. In a riveting re-creation of the run-up to war, Fromkin shows how German generals, seeing war as inevitable, manipulated events to precipitate a conflict waged on their own terms. Moving deftly between diplomats, generals, and rulers across Europe, he makes the complex diplomatic negotiations accessible and immediate. Examining the actions of individuals amid larger historical forces, this is a gripping historical narrative and a dramatic reassessment of a key moment in the twentieth-century.

很流畅。主要着眼于德国和奥国视角，结论也是基于此的，稍嫌片面
评分很流畅。主要着眼于德国和奥国视角，结论也是基于此的，稍嫌片面
评分可以说是平铺直叙式的论述，文笔缺乏魅力。和Barbara Tuchman或是Dan Jones的文笔比较起来，可谓淡然无味。但是解释大战的发生却非常称职。都说历史离得越远，看得越清晰。这个说法对于一战产生的原因却不一定合适，因为核心参与者都竭力消灭和自己有关的证据。谁都不想被指称为打开潘多拉盒子的手。只是近年来史学家却能够从一些尘封的资料中找到新的证据。这本书得益于这些新浮出水面的资料，能够提出更加全面的分析，也对主要参与者给出了更加公平的评价。
评分先开始写的确实甚为流畅，有些视角也颇新颖，但最后的结论不能服人，特别是在刚刚看过Keegan后。除此之外，结尾50页也太啰嗦了，基本上都是在重复之前，用的最多的就是“I repeat”。希望A Peace to End All Peace能好些。
