Contesting the Origins of the First World War. An Historiographical Argument

This book challenges the Anglophone emphasis on Germany bearing the primary responsibility in causing the Great War and instead builds upon revisionist perspectives to reconsider the roles of the Great Powers. Using the work of Zuber, McMeekin and Schmidt as building blocks, the book reassesses the origins of the war and offers an explanation as to why this re-assessment did not come earlier. The book is part of the Series "Routledge Studies in Modern History".
