Against the Day Prereqs

You may like Clark's The Sleepwalkers.

from NYT REview:

The historiography of World War I is immense, more than 25,000 volumes
and articles even before next year’s centenary. Still, Clark, and Sean
McMeekin, in “July 1914,” offer new perspectives. The distinctive
achievement of “The Sleepwalkers” is Clark’s single-volume survey of
European history leading up to the war. That may sound dull. Quite the
contrary. It is as if a light had been turned on a half-darkened stage
of shadowy characters cursing among themselves without reason. He
raises the curtain at 2 a.m. on June 11, 1903, 11 years before
Sarajevo.
