The Sleepwalkers is historian Christopher Clark's riveting account of the explosive origins of World Conflict I. Pulling on new scholarship, Clark offers a brand new look at World Conflict I, concentrating not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself but on the complicated events and human relationships that led several well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict. Clark traces the pathways to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that slashes between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and he examines the ages of record that prepared the occurrences of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signs that drove the crisis ahead in a few brief weeks. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The Sleepwalkers is a remarkable and authoritative chronicle of Europe's descent into a war that tore the globe apart.
