No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality. 9.5 inches tall; 292 pages with Chapter Notes and Index. Michael S. Neiberg offers a fresh perspective on the causes behind the outbreak of World War I, focusing on Europe's political and diplomatic landscape. He examines the complex web of alliances, national rivalries, and tensions that led to the war in 1914. Challenging traditional views, Neiberg emphasizes how fear, miscalculation, and emotional decision-making shaped the actions of European leaders, portraying them as driven by ingrained cultural fears rather than cold rationality. The book explores the system of alliances and military strategies that often worsened tensions, contributing to the war's escalation. Neiberg's nuanced approach explores the psychological aspects of national identity and how emotion and irrationality influenced political decisions. His work shows that the war's outbreak was not inevitable but a result of complex, often irrational power dynamics. Neiberg's balanced interpretation sheds light on the human elements of diplomacy, offering a compelling narrative of the origins of World War I. Subjects: World War I, European History, Diplomacy, International Relations, 20th Century, Military History, World War I. …

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The common explanation for the outbreak of World War I depicts Europe as a minefield of nationalism, needing only the slightest pressure to set off an explosion of passion that would rip the continent apart. But in a crucial reexamination of the outbreak of violence, Michael Neiberg shows that ordinary Europeans, unlike their political and military leaders, neither wanted nor expected war during the fateful summer of 1914. By training his eye on the ways that people outside the halls of power reacted to the rapid onset and escalation of the fighting, Neiberg dispels the notion that Europeans were rabid nationalists intent on mass slaughter. He reveals instead a complex set of allegiances that cut across national boundaries.Neiberg marshals letters, diaries, and memoirs of ordinary citizens across Europe to show that the onset of war was experienced as a sudden, unexpected event. As they watched a minor diplomatic crisis erupt into a continental bloodbath, they expressed shock, revulsion, and fear. But when bargains between belligerent governments began to crumble under the weight of conflict, public disillusionment soon followed. Yet it was only after the fighting acquired its own horrible momentum that national hatreds emerged under the pressure of mutually escalating threats, wartime atrocities, and intense government propaganda. Dance of the Furies gives voice to a generation who found themselves compelled to participate in a ghastly, protracted orgy of violence they never imagined would come to pass.
