ISBN10: 0713992468, ISBN13: 9780713992465, [publisher: Allen Lane, London] Hardcover THE PITY OF WAR Niall Ferguson. Allen Lane The Penguin Press, London 1998 Second Impression ISBN 0713992468 624pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in mint unmarked condition in a mint unclipped dust wrapper. Ferguson argues that Britain was as much to blame for the start of the war as was German militarism, and that had Britain sacrificed Belgium to Germany, the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution would never have happened, Germany would have created a united European state, and Britain could have remained a superpower. He also contends that there was little enthusiasm for the war in Britain in 1914, but equally he claims that it was not prolonged by clever manipulation of the media. Instead, he purports that the reason men fought was because they enjoyed it. He also maintains that it wasn't the severity of the conditions imposed on Germany at Versailles in 1919 that led inexorably to World War II; rather it was the comparative leniency and the failure to collect reparations in full. The Pity of War has no pretensions to offering the grand narrative of World War I. Instead it reads like a polemical tract; as such it is immensely readable, well-researched, and controversial. This large book weighs in at 1.5 Kilos so overseas customers will need to quoted international postage rates. Ref HH3
