À propos de cet audio
The Sleepwalkers 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 he 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, The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe's descent into a war that tore the world apart.

In the aftermath of World War II, Prussia - a centuries-old state pivotal to Europe's development - ceased to exist. In their eagerness to erase all traces of the Third Reich from the earth, the Allies believed that Prussia, the very embodiment of German militarism, had to be abolished. But as Christopher Clark reveals in this pioneering history, Prussia's legacy is far more complex.

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of Kings and Kaisers and Czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.

On December 16, 1944, Hitler launched his "last gamble" in the snow-covered forests and gorges of the Ardennes in Belgium, believing he could split the Allies by driving all the way to Antwerp and forcing the Canadians and the British out of the war. Although his generals were doubtful of success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. Many were exultant at the prospect of striking back.

Down and dirty
Clark states from the outset that his mission is not to rely upon over arching theories about the causes of the First World War but to create a picture based on a thorough examination of what the protagonists were thinking at the time. He succeeds wonderfully. Sadly none really understood how violent and murderous the decision to go to war would be. A great lesson for our times as the great powers bump into each other over Taiwan. A must read.

Oops?
The narrato made some major gaffes, including referring to Austria as Australia at one point. The book itself is remarkably thorough and absolutely fascinating.

A excellent overview
Well written and researched this book covers an area of history not often reviewed doing so in a interesting manner. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to understand more of the start of the great war.
My only minor criticism is due to the Audio book there tends to be a lot of this happened here, then here than here - which works well in book but not so much in audio format.

A History of Contingency
An interesting book, well told, of a peculiar historical event - the start of WWI. Given what happens next, it is mystifying how calm all seemed in Europe before the death of ArchDuke Ferdinand in Sarajevo. I feel like I have a better understanding of the how, the why still eludes me, despite the efforts of this book.

Great Analysis of Europes' Inexorable Slide...
Into the Abyss of WW1!
This book is at times challenging, which is what makes it so good. Clark has done his research and has an opinion on the cause(s) of WW1, but his opinion is not foisted on the reader...it is merely hinted at as he unfolds the events that preceded the War in and beyond 1914 Europe. Derek Perkins narration is flawless, making some of Clark's phrasing and conclusions come clearly to life. A most worthy addition to the canon of books written to commemorate the centenary of the mind-boggling start of the First World War. #Audible1
