Review: Unbelievable incompetence from a bunch of war-minded, insecure, overrated heads of state and military.

I enjoyed reading this book. But I am shocked by the egotism of those military heads of state of France, Germany (especially the Keiser) and Russia who seemed impossible to avoid being drawn into WW1. The UK head politician at least tried to negotiate a peaceful solution before War1 began. It just shows how then and now, how military and power-hungry politicians can rule over the lives of ordinary people who have no choice in their destiny.  WW1 could have been avoided had clear, intelligent minds prevailed.
