Ever read "The Guns of August"? Good book that talks about how Europe "stumbled" into WWI.

Morning w_over_w.

You didn't have to serve to have an opinion.

Like I told Grzegorz 246, "The Guns of August" is a good book on the beginning of the First World War's causes and opening moves.

Maybe some day I will read this book, [If it has big letters and many pictures :)] but I am rather more interested in WW2.

Same here WWII is more interesting but I have read some on WWI. The opening moves of WWi before they bogged down into trench warfare is interesting though.
