520 $aNiall Ferguson attempts to explode many of the myths surrounding World War I. He argues that the fatal conflict between Britain and Germany was far from inevitable and that it was Britain that needlessly turned a continental conflict into a world war. Having taken this fatal decision, Britain frittered away the enormous economic superiority which should have settled the war swiftly in her favour.
