Focuses on Serbia and European Geopolitics since the mid-19th century until the eve of the war. Instead of asking "why" the war happened - which, as the author contends, means pinning the blame on somebody - it poses the "how" question, thus shifting focus from people to events.
Highly recommended book. If you're just getting into WW1, even if the book can seem intimidating and "dry", I suggest keep reading. So much about the Great War can be most understood by starting with an excellent look at its origins. And The Sleepwalkers is also a major resource for more recent WW1 works, so it pays really well to read this book. 5/5!

The main message - knowledge for its own sake - is very interesting. However, the examples and arguments never lead to any discernible thesis. The conclusions dawn all throughout the book are vague, and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what the author is trying to say.

The book places the Eucharist at the center of an evolving liturgical tradition.

As a history enthusiast, I absolutely loved this novel! The semi-epistolary format, spanning three generations, may not be for everyone. Plus it's really long - my paperback copy clocks in at over 900 pages!
For me, I felt this novel is just perfect fit for my preference. Highly recommended for history buffs.
