L'ultima estate dell'Europa. Il grande enigma del 1914: perché è scoppiata la prima guerra mondiale?

The buildup to the war was complex, but choosing to zoom in on that particular summer makes me wonder what the author found so pivotal about those months.

The behind-the-scenes political maneuvering added layers to the story, but I kept wondering how much of that was reconstructed from limited sources.

The book emphasizes certain moments over others, and I'm curious about how the author determined their significance in the broader narrative.
