Über diesen Titel

One of The New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of the Year

Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History)

The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark's riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I.

Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict.

Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks.

Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe's descent into a war that tore the world apart.

At times a bit repetitive but otherwise an excellent book. Clark works hard to explain complexity and how it makes it hard to analyse the outbreak of WW1 even after 100 years.

He also does a great job to search for the mindset of the actors explaining each time that they had to act without the hindsight those who research them now have.

Well written and spoken

Good to recall the time around 1914 and all the developments leading to this critical summer of this very year. But also a lot of details, sometimes hard to follow, a lot of background. You have to love history and already bring quite some knowledge with you to absorb all the facts. Still, a good spotlight on this time and to reflect on lessons learnt for today.

...very detailed and long
