Thanks to DtG for that link. Its a review of two books which present different views of the origins of WWI. The problem is that historians such as Hastings are interested mostly in using history to support a particular world view. Historians disagree on whose fault WWI was. Was it the Germans, the Russians, the Austrians the Serbians, the British? What is certain though was that it wasn't the fault of the millions of working class soldiers from all of those countries who died in the trenches and the deserts. It was the fault of the rulers. This is what historians fail to grasp, because to them history is the story of the rulers.
