‘[Paul Ham’s] account is documented, detailed, rational and responsible, as well as fascinating and horrifying. It is difficult to imagine a better starting point from which to begin a serious consideration of this most challenging of historical issues.’ (for Hiroshima Nagasaki)

Sydney Morning Herald
The definitive guide to the beginning of the Great War.
Few years can justly be said to have transformed the earth: 1914 did.
In July that year, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Britain and France were poised to plunge the world into a war that would kill or wound 37 million people, tear down the fabric of society, uproot ancient political systems and set the course for the bloodiest century in human history.
In the longer run, the events of 1914 set the world on the path toward the Russian Revolution, the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Nazism and the Cold War.
In '1914: The Year the World Ended', award-winning historian Paul Ham tells the story of the outbreak of the Great War from German, British, French, Austria-Hungarian, Russian and Serbian perspectives.
