Jünger was wounded fourteen times over the course of the 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,[271],{"id":272,"slug":273,"name":274},"01kx6nz5zwf7gzakjh7byz8vvg","margaret-olwen-macmillan-kiyd","Margaret Olwen Macmillan",[276,277,278,279],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":18},{"id":49,"name":50,"slug":51,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":10,"audience":219,"mood":282,"themes":283,"setting_period":10,"summary":284,"content_warnings":10},[221,223],[],"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.

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,[323],{"id":324,"slug":325,"name":326},"01kjt6zfmb7a5hd7c3jjzgqvb3","barbara-tuchman-6fib","Barbara Tuchman",[328,329,330,331],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":18},{"id":49,"name":50,"slug":51,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":10,"audience":219,"mood":334,"themes":337,"setting_period":10,"summary":338,"content_warnings":10},[221,335,336],"tense","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.",{"id":340,"slug":341,"title":342,"description":10,"primary_cover_url":343,"cover_blurhash":344,"first_publish_year":345,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":346,"authors":347,"genres":367,"series":372,"enrichment":377},"01kqn0e9dq9zvrsk9f2v0rv5ha","a-fluid-frontier-d7uj","A Fluid Frontier","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqn0e9g2f0n0chpknj93cyaj.jpg","LoLN}R%Mayj]~qxaj[ayD%WBayay",2016,360,[348,352,356,360,363],{"id":349,"slug":350,"name":351},"01kqn0e9fw7dex6j8tjby7devd","karolyn-smardz-frost-igzk","Karolyn Smardz Frost",{"id":353,"slug":354,"name":355},"01kqn0e9fxtysw8cgrm5pc5hma","veta-smith-tucker-9mex","Veta Smith Tucker",{"id":357,"slug":358,"name":359},"01kp9twtmj1vfwf2k5mm38vzv3","david-w-blight-9m68","David W.

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,[470],{"id":471,"slug":472,"name":473},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[475,479,480,481],{"id":476,"name":477,"slug":478,"is_fiction":19},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":18},{"id":49,"name":50,"slug":51,"is_fiction":18},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":10,"audience":219,"mood":484,"themes":485,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[221,222,223],[],{"id":487,"slug":488,"title":489,"description":490,"primary_cover_url":491,"cover_blurhash":492,"first_publish_year":493,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":494,"authors":495,"genres":504,"series":510,"enrichment":511},"01kjv3kvc35n7jq7kjxhq5c3v9","a-princess-remembers-ezy2","A princess remembers","This is the memoir of Gayatri Devi, the Maharani of Jaipur.

Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America.

But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest--to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge. As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, *The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane* travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.

The murder of the Romanov family in July 1918 horrified the world and its aftershocks still reverberate today. In Putin's autocratic Russia, the Revolution itself is considered a crime and its one hundredth anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the Imperial Family will be a huge ceremony attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. While the murder itself has received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots behind the scenes to save the family--on the part of their royal relatives, other governments, and Russian monarchists loyal to the Tsar. Rappaport refutes the accusation that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional claim for the last century. The responsibility for failing the Romanovs must be equally shared. The question of asylum for the Tsar and his family was an extremely complicated issue that presented enormous political, logistical and geographical challenges at a time when Europe was still at war. Like a modern-day detective, Helen Rappaport draws on new and never-before-seen sources from archives in the United States, Russia, Spain ,and the United Kingdom, creating a powerful account of near misses and close calls with a heartbreaking conclusion. With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the Romanovs\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p157en4z1j0k6jparp25v.jpg?v=5b35880d25","L?O3^HWBkCt7~qofkCWBD%j[jZj[",2018,400,[803],{"id":804,"slug":805,"name":806},"01kp7nctk2ryhpjtmwszpre5z1","helen-rappaport-r6iu","Helen Rappaport",[808,809,810,811],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":18},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":18},{"id":681,"name":682,"slug":683,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":216,"complexity":10,"audience":219,"mood":814,"themes":815,"setting_period":10,"summary":816,"content_warnings":10},[221,335],[],"Historian Helen Rappaport investigates the failed efforts to rescue Tsar Nicholas II and his family before their July 1918 execution, drawing on previously unseen archival material from Russia, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom to reassess why the various rescue plots by royal relatives and foreign governments never succeeded.",{"id":818,"slug":819,"title":820,"description":821,"primary_cover_url":822,"cover_blurhash":823,"first_publish_year":268,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":626,"authors":824,"genres":833,"series":839,"enrichment":840},"01kx6pdrf9tv1kx23bas42f1dx","the-assassination-of-the-archduke-cjk9","The assassination of the archduke","In the summer of 1914, three great empires dominated Europe: Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary.

The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and decades of conflict.
