Reviews / Votes

'This rich collection of essays by both well-established scholars and those of a younger generation opens up new areas of research and interpretation. Studies of the powers involved, both large and small, are supplemented and enriched by thematic chapters covering a wide variety of transitional subjects ranging from ideology, economics and intelligence to armaments, diplomacy and propaganda. These concise, sharply focused and clearly written contributions provide the reader with a variety of approaches to the problem of war origins and offer a cornucopia of thought-provoking material that will re-cast the lines of traditional debate.' - Zara Steiner, Emeritus Fellow, New Hall, Cambridge 'Very strong collection showcasing cutting edge scholarship in an accessible fashion.' - Dr Patrick Finney, University of Wales Aberystwyth Systematic, comprehensive, by leading experts. A very useful publication. - Professor C Fischer, University of Strathclyde 'The book should prove a valuable and concise survey for both undergraduates and those keeping up with the latest research.' - Contemporary Review 'Scholars and students alike can learn much from reading this volume'. - David Silbey, H-NET
