| Abstract | "Perry Anderson picks from the highly charged historiography of the First World War one leading historian from each of the major powers that survived the conflagration: Fritz Fischer, famous historian of German war-guilt; Pierre Renouvin, a disabled serviceman and preeminent authority on the conflict in France; Luigi Albertini, the Italian newspaper tycoon who unlike any other scholar on the Grear War was himself a leading actor in pitching his country into it; Paul W. Schroeder, the American expert on the system of European interstate relations and its breakdown in 1914; Keith Wilson, the one radical deviant from a patriotic consensus in Britain about the country's role in the outbreak of the fighting; and, from Australia (a dominion dragooned into the Great War by the British), the acclaimed Christopher Clark"-- Provided by publisher. |
