Best explanation of the runup to WWI that I've ever read. We aren't all historians, so a 'Cliff's Notes' can be helpful.

I just finished reading 'Revolutionary Spring' by Christopher Clark, about the revolts in Europe during 1848. It's very readable and strong on details, but presumes we all have an adequate overview. I don't. Would you care to wade in?

And, as predicted, my WWI buddies didn't think much of it.

Wade into the morass of '48? Not me, brother. I have my hands full writing about the messes I know something about.
