Germany and the Approach of War in 1914

Berghahn's now classic study, first published in 1973, is based on the proposition that the years immediately preceding World War I were characterized by the genesis and collapse of an ambitious plan to secure a prestigious place for Germany in the Europe of the 20th century. The second edition includes a new introduction and a revision of the first chapter to incorporate perceptions and arguments that emerged during the 1980s. [Google Books]
