“So passed—or was frittered away—the afternoon of the day on which Serbia must give her answer to the Austrian ultimatum.
That answer would either resolve the crisis or produce one infinitely more alarming.”
In this dramatic account of the twelve days preceding the outbreak of Great War, Thomson shows how a tangle of apparently unrelated strands—political and diplomatic maneuvers, private frustrations and ambitions, quirks of personalities—combined to produce completely unsought consequences.
