Title: The pity of this book
Review: This book meanders all over the place, from some history and literary critique to economics. Ferguson indulges in long tracts with endless figures to reach highly doubtful conclusions. Mostly, he likes to shoot down other people's theories with a mass of facts and figures, yet his own conclusions are based on extremely sketchy evidence. Some examples of his conclusions: the Kaiser was not responsible for leading Germany into war and the war went on because men weren't tired of fighting. I think I can pretty much guarantee that given a choice, 99.99% would've voted to go home.
