The Hidden Perspective. The Military Conversations, 1906 - 1914

Henry Kissinger said of this book: "The history of the First World War has been exhaustively studied in relation to events of the fateful structure of the alliances. The area in between, the impact of the tactical management of diplomacy on the inevitability of war, has received inadequate attention. David Owen has filled that gap. This book should be essential reading for contemporary statesmen."
