A. J. P. Taylor's War by Timetable offers a concise and thought-provoking examination of the origins of the First World War. Rather than attributing the conflict solely to deliberate political decisions, Taylor argues that rigid military mobilization plans and railway timetables played a decisive role in transforming a diplomatic crisis into a general war. Although aspects of his interpretation continue to be debated, the book remains an important contribution to First World War historiography and a compelling example of Taylor's clear, engaging, and often provocative style.
This 1969 Macdonald edition is an excellent introduction to one of the twentieth century's most influential historians and his distinctive approach to understanding the outbreak of war. Illustrated throughout with contemporary photographs and historical illustrations.
