Product Description:In The Lost History of 1914, Jack Beatty offers a highly original view of World War I, testing against fresh evidence the long-dominant assumption that it was inevitable. "Most books set in 1914 map the path leading to war," Beatty writes. "This one maps the multiple paths that led away from it."Chronicling largely forgotten events faced by each of the belligerent countries in the months before the war started in August, Beatty shows how any one of them-a possible military coup in Germany; an imminent civil war in Britain; the murder trial of the wife of the likely next premier of France, who sought détente with Germany-might have derailed the war or brought it to a different end. In Beatty's hands, these stories open into epiphanies of national character, and offer dramatic portraits of the year's major actors-Kaiser Wilhelm, Tsar Nicholas II , Woodrow Wilson, along with forgotten or overlooked characters such as Pancho Villa, Rasputin, and Herbert Hoover. Europe's ruling classes, Beatty shows, were so haunted by fear of those below that they mistook democratization for revolution, and were tempted to "escape forward" into war to head it off. Beatty's powerful rendering of the combat between August 1914 and January 1915 which killed more than one million men, restores lost history, revealing how trench warfare, long depicted as death's victory, was actually a life-saving strategy.Beatty's deeply insightful book-as elegantly written as it is thought-provoking and probing-lights a lost world about to blow itself up in what George Kennan called "the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century." It also arms readers against narratives of historical inevitability in today's world. [Fitchburg, WI, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 1999]

"Most books about 1914 map the path leading to war," Beatty writes. "This one maps five paths that led away from it." Reexamining the standard account of the war's outbreak, Beatty presents the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand not as the catalyst of a war that would have broken out in any event over some other crisis, but rather as "its all~but~unique precipitant." Chronicling largely forgotten events dominating public life in each of the belligerent countries in the months before the war started in August, Beatty shows how anyone of them~a possible military coup in Germany, an imminent civil war in Britain, the murder trial of the wife of the likely next premier of France~might have derailed the war or brought it to a different end. Expanding the war's horizon across the Atlantic, he relates how Woodrow Wilson's intervention in the Mexican Revolution in April 1914 led by occurrences so improbable as to mock any idea of inevitability to U.S. entry into the war in April 1917. In Beatty's hands, these stories open out into revelations of national character, and offer dramatic sketches of the year's major actors~ Kaiser Wilhelm, Tsar Nicholas II, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Emperor Francis Joseph, along with forgotten or overlooked figures such as Pancho Villa, Rasputin, Sir Edward Carson, and Herbert Hoover. Europe's ruling classes, Beatty shows, were so haunted by fear of those below that they mistook democratization for revolution, and were tempted to "escape forward" into war to head it off. Beatty concludes with a powerful depiction of the combat between August 1914 and january 1915, which killed more than one million men, the murderous culmination of a "cult of the offensive" that gripped prewar general staffs. He restores lost history here as well, revealing how trench warfare, long depicted as death's victory, was actually a life~saving strategy, and by connecting British prime minister H. H. Asquith's romantic entanglement with a young woman to the disaster at Gallipoli. Beatty's deeply insightful book~as elegantly written as it is thought provoking and probing~ illuminates a lost world about to blow itself up in what George F. Kennan called "the great seminal catastrophe" of the twentieth century. It also arms readers against invocations of historical inevitability in today's world.
