Query: Interesting but flawed

The origins of World War I are difficult for modern students to fully comprehend. David Fromkin is to be commended for writing a complete investigation of such a difficult topic that is both scholarly and accessible. Unfortunately, I think his conclusion - that Germany and Austria intentionally provoked the war - is highly dubious.Fromkin succeeds in building a case that the militarism of the German general staff created a situation ripe for war, and demonstrates that the assassination in Sarajevo was an excuse rather than a reason for war. Nevertheless, his conclusion seems to absolve the allied powers of any guilt. Interested parties should read Niall Ferguson's The Pity of War for another angle - Ferguson argues (far more convincingly, in my opinion) that it is the British and not the Germans who bear the greatest responsibility for the great war.
