The Pity of War , is the most intelligent and compelling history of its period recently written. A truly refreshing and significant viewpoint. Thanks for the heads up

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a beef I have with "The Pity of War" is that it kinda assumes that it would have been a good thing if Germany had won in 1914. Well, Imperial Germany was not West Germany. It would only have been a good thing if Germany had used its victory wisely. Prudence and judgment were alien concepts to the swaggering, strutting, bombastic nation that invaded Belgium, launched unrestricted submarine warfare, and casually offered to partition the United States with Mexico.
