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. \u003cbr\u003eThis 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. \u003c\/span\u003eIllustrated throughout with contemporary photographs and historical illustrations. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macdonald \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55779716333641,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/7278\/3945\/files\/40672E4C-1491-4860-8DE6-60AFFF1E20D3.jpg?v=1783232224","url":"https:\/\/estimablebooks.com\/products\/war-by-time-table-ho-wthe-frirst-world-war-began-by-ajp-taylor","provider":"Estimable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
