  1. Vishal Soni

    Informative but rather dry. While the historical details are there, it lacks a certain narrative drive. Still, a valuable resource for understanding WWI’s origins.

  2. Nishi Maurya

    Offers a comprehensive view. I did get lost a few times with the amount of information. Helpful to look at other sources as well

  3. Shashank Mishra

    It provides a detailed account. Some parts were boring but overall a good book to read. I would recommend.

  4. Saurav Baburao Maske

    Gives great insight into this time period, I was not aware how close Europe was to disaster. It did drag on a little long though.

  5. Ankit Singh

    Important history, but the writing style is quite academic. I found myself struggling to stay engaged. Still, I learned a lot.

  6. Abhinav Kumar Karadwal

    A compelling exploration of the pre-war era. The authors paint a vivid picture of the political landscape and the missteps that led to war.

  7. Suyash Pratap Rana

    While informative, the book can be a bit dense and overwhelming at times. It requires patience to fully appreciate the depth of analysis.

  8. Mudit Narayan Dubey

    Eye-opening! I never understood the intricate web of alliances and miscalculations that led to the war. Highly recommended for history buffs.

  9. Paras Goyal

    Briggs and Vipont masterfully expose the underlying political tensions. Eye-opening and thought-provoking, it’s a must-read for history enthusiasts.

  10. Saif Akhlaq

    A bit overwhelming with facts and names. I wish there were more maps and visuals. The ‘sleepwalking’ analogy is apt though.

  11. Ayush Patel

    Brilliant analysis of the pre-war atmosphere. The authors clearly show how easily Europe stumbled into disaster. A must-read!

  12. Charu

    This book is incredible! It paints a vivid picture of the political landscape before WWI. I couldn’t put it down.

  13. Puneet Kajal

    The level of detail is impressive, but the book could benefit from more engaging storytelling. It’s a valuable resource for serious scholars.

  14. Himanshu Shekhar

    A sobering read. Briggs and Vipont did a great job explaining the complexities leading to WWI. It can be dense at times, but worth the effort.

  15. Vijaykumar Navanath Dhakane

    A masterpiece in historical writing. The authors unravel the complexities of pre-WWI Europe with precision and insight. A captivating read!
