A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--\"the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.\" By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. His brilliant, panoramic account of this vast and terrible conflict is destined to take its place among the classics of world history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6pa0fy2z5h4jewrhsmzd58.jpg?v=8fe3a6cc60","LxJa+TRjWCj@_Noef5fQRka}j[az",1998,475,[158],{"id":159,"slug":160,"name":161},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[163,167,168,169],{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":19},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":136,"name":137,"slug":138,"is_fiction":18},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":172,"themes":175,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[173,144,174],"informative","thought-provoking",[],{"id":177,"slug":178,"title":179,"description":180,"primary_cover_url":181,"cover_blurhash":182,"first_publish_year":183,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":184,"authors":185,"genres":190,"series":194,"enrichment":195},"01kx6nxa0ypqy8g9rfkf9mhwpn","the-war-of-the-world-xvrg","The War of the World","A sweeping re-examination of the twentieth century's defining conflicts, tracing how a convergence of technological advancement and ideological extremism fueled unprecedented violence from World War I through the Cold War.

The century since the end of the Napoleonic wars had been the most peaceful era Europe had known since the fall of the Roman Empire. In the first years of the twentieth century, Europe believed it was marching to a golden, happy, and prosperous future. But instead, complex personalities and rivalries, colonialism and ethnic nationalisms, and shifting alliances helped to bring about the failure of the long peace and the outbreak of a war that transformed Europe and the world. The War That Ended Peace brings vividly to life the military leaders, politicians, diplomats, bankers, and the extended, interrelated family of crowned heads across Europe who failed to stop the descent into war: in Germany, the mercurial Kaiser Wilhelm II and the chief of the German general staff, Von Moltke the Younger; in Austria-Hungary, Emperor Franz Joseph, a man who tried, through sheer hard work, to stave off the coming chaos in his empire; in Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife; in Britain, King Edward VII, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, and British admiral Jacky Fisher, the fierce advocate of naval reform who entered into the arms race with Germany that pushed the continent toward confrontation on land and sea. There are the would-be peacemakers as well, among them prophets of the horrors of future wars whose warnings went unheeded: Alfred Nobel, who donated his fortune to the cause of international understanding, and Bertha von Suttner, a writer and activist who was the first woman awarded Nobel's new Peace Prize. Here too we meet the urbane and cosmopolitan Count Harry Kessler, who noticed many of the early signs that something was stirring in Europe; the young Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty and a rising figure in British politics; Madame Caillaux, who shot a man who might have been a force for peace; and more. With indelible portraits, MacMillan shows how the fateful decisions of a few powerful people changed the course of history. MacMillan's central argument is that the outbreak of the First World War was not a foregone conclusion, but the outcome of specific choices and failures by Europe's leaders. - Publisher.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nz609ka92ydt7r6ckbpr8.jpg?v=d1a50c8930","LFIhNr~qt7%2nlNH~WIVx]SN^kE1",2013,762,[208],{"id":209,"slug":210,"name":211},"01kx6nz5zwf7gzakjh7byz8vvg","margaret-olwen-macmillan-kiyd","Margaret Olwen Macmillan",[213,214,215,216],{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":19},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},{"id":136,"name":137,"slug":138,"is_fiction":18},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":219,"themes":220,"setting_period":7,"summary":221,"content_warnings":7},[173,174],[],"A narrative history of Europe from 1900 to the outbreak of World War I, tracing how the continent's longest era of peace since the Roman Empire collapsed into catastrophe.

He argues that the fatal conflict between Britain and Germany was far from inevitable. It was Britain's declaration of war that needlessly turned a continental conflict into a world war, and it was Britain's economic mismanagement and military inferiority that necessitated American involvement, forever altering the global balance of power. Ferguson vividly brings back to life one of the seminal catastrophes of the century, not through a dry citation of chronological chapter and verse, but through a series of chapters that answer the key questions: Why did the war start? Why did it continue? And why did it stop? How did the Germans manage to kill more soldiers than they lost but still end up defeated in November 1918?

It proposed a wartime alliance: if the United States entered the war against Germany, Mexico should join Germany and Japan against America, with Germany's help in reclaiming Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.\n\nBarbara Tuchman traces how Britain's codebreakers deciphered the message, and the delicate problem of how to hand it to Washington without revealing that Germany's codes had been broken. She sets the telegram against the wider background of the German high command's decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare, Woodrow Wilson's strained neutrality, and the unstable state of U.S.-Mexico relations during the Mexican Revolution.\n\nWhen the telegram's contents reached the American press in early 1917, public opinion shifted decisively, and Congress moved toward a declaration of war against Germany within weeks. Tuchman's account follows the intelligence operation from interception to publication and its role in bringing the United States into the First World War.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pbejgpwp8ce20fs9je553.jpg?v=b672611afb","LZ9viaQ=j=bY*DkAV[kAM#pEjIj[",1979,243,[362],{"id":363,"slug":364,"name":365},"01kjt6zfmb7a5hd7c3jjzgqvb3","barbara-tuchman-6fib","Barbara Tuchman",[367,368,369,370],{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":19},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},{"id":136,"name":137,"slug":138,"is_fiction":18},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":373,"themes":375,"setting_period":7,"summary":376,"content_warnings":7},[173,309,374],"intellectual",[],"A history of the intercepted 1917 telegram in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States — and how its exposure helped draw America into World War I.",[378,542],{"key":379,"params":380,"works":381},"genre_year",{"genre":37,"year":9},[382,395,419,462,486,508],{"id":73,"slug":74,"title":75,"description":76,"primary_cover_url":77,"cover_blurhash":78,"first_publish_year":79,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":80,"authors":383,"genres":385,"series":390,"enrichment":392},[384],{"id":83,"slug":84,"name":85},[386,387,388,389],{"id":88,"name":89,"slug":90,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":94,"name":95,"slug":96,"is_fiction":19},[391],{"id":99,"slug":100,"name":101,"position":102,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":393,"themes":394,"setting_period":7,"summary":76,"content_warnings":7},[106,107],[109,110],{"id":396,"slug":397,"title":398,"description":399,"primary_cover_url":400,"cover_blurhash":401,"first_publish_year":402,"community_rating_avg":403,"community_rating_count":404,"page_count":405,"authors":406,"genres":411,"series":414,"enrichment":415},"01kx6n5v2cpvd52qye1qf8cgse","chronicle-of-a-death-foretold-npx8","Chronicle of a Death Foretold","NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • From the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes the gripping story of the murder of a young aristocrat that puts an entire society—not just a pair of murderers—on trial. A man returns to the town where a baffling murder took place 27 years earlier, determined to get to the bottom of the story. Just hours after marrying the beautiful Angela Vicario, everyone agrees, Bayardo San Roman returned his bride in disgrace to her parents. Her distraught family forced her to name her first lover; and her twin brothers announced their intention to murder Santiago Nasar for dishonoring their sister. Yet if everyone knew the murder was going to happen, why did no one intervene to stop it? The more that is learned, the less is understood, as the story races to its inexplicable conclusion.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6n5v2txgdp5c1c7zjv81ng.jpg?v=8e373468f7","LKK^=u?dP-$~jLjGadk8UUxaMwt5",2003,"5.00",1,129,[407],{"id":408,"slug":409,"name":410},"01kjr0j8hnatcf11xg2by9wtqe","gabriel-garcia-marquez-md6k","Gabriel García Márquez",[412,413],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":88,"name":89,"slug":90,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":416,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":417,"themes":418,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[142,309],[],{"id":420,"slug":421,"title":422,"description":423,"primary_cover_url":424,"cover_blurhash":425,"first_publish_year":426,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":427,"authors":428,"genres":433,"series":451,"enrichment":457},"01kx6saah37w67pc145tpyd0nd","unstrung-ro5r","UnStrung","UnStrung is a short companion story to Neal Shusterman's Unwind, co-written with Michelle Knowlden, set in the gap between Unwind and UnWholly.\n\nAfter leaving CyFi, Lev Calder finds refuge on a Hi-Rez reservation, a wealthy Native American community that refused to sign the Unwind Accord and does not practice unwinding.

Born in splendor difficult to imagine today, she endured a lifetime of relentless tragedy with courage and exceptional powers of adjustment. The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,[676],{"id":677,"slug":678,"name":679},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[681,685,686,687],{"id":682,"name":683,"slug":684,"is_fiction":19},34,"Historical Romance","historical-romance",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":19},{"id":257,"name":258,"slug":259,"is_fiction":18},{"id":136,"name":137,"slug":138,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":505,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":690,"themes":692,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[691,107],"romantic",[693,109],"forbidden-love",[]]
