More great reviews for July 1914
18 Jan 2014
There have been two more great reviews for Sean McMeekin’s July 1914. History Today pairs Sean with Niall Ferguson and Barbara Tuchman as one of the most important historians of 1914.
And the New York Review of Books writes:
“Sean McMeekin’s chronicle of these weeks in July 1914: Countdown to War is almost impossible to put down…. [McMeekin] delivers a punchy and riveting narrative of high politics and diplomacy over the five weeks after Sarajevo, more or less day by day, dwelling on small groups of decision-makers in and between the various capitals, and their interactions, by turns measured, perplexed, cordial, artful, angry, even tearful.”
