Uncredited book review - are you saying the reviewer is a historian
Interesting though - the blog at the bottom reads
"Before 1914, starting a war was neither a crime in international law nor a sin against morality, and there was no principle that said that a country which started a war had to make amends afterwards. Both these ideas were retroactively introduced in the Treaty of Versailles. It doesn't matter whether Germany started the war or German policy caused it, both of which are beyond dispute: at issue is the word 'guilt' itself – a point which Margaret MacMillan seems to have missed (LRB, 2 December).
