Das Standardwerk zum Ersten Weltkrieg Lange Zeit galt es als ausgemacht, dass das deutsche Kaiserreich wegen seiner Großmachtträume die Hauptverantwortung am Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs trug. In seinem bahnbrechenden Werk kommt der renommierte Historiker und Bestsellerautor ( Preußen ) zu einer anderen Einschätzung. Christopher Clark beschreibt minutiös die Interessen und Motivationen der wichtigsten politischen Akteure in den europäischen Metropolen. Diese ›Schlafwandler‹ waren ›wachsam; aber blind, von Alpträumen geplagt, aber unfähig, die Realität der Greuel zu erkennen, die sie in Kürze in die Welt setzen sollten‹. Mit seinem eindrucksvollen ›Monumentalgemälde‹ (NZZ) zeichnet der Autor das Bild einer komplexen Welt. Gegenseitiges Misstrauen, Fehleinschätzungen, Überheblichkeit, Expansionspläne und nationalistische Bestrebungen führten zu einer Situation, in der ein Funke genügte, den Krieg auszulösen. Dessen verheerende Folgen vermochte kaum jemand abzuschätzen. Ausstattung: mit Abbildungen
