Description

Holger Afflerbach's account challenges the idea of Germany's unwavering commitment to conquest during World War I. Drawing on diaries and letters, it reveals internal divisions between peace advocates and hardliners. The book suggests numerous German peace overtures presented opportunities to halt the war. These missed chances indicate the conflict's outcome was closer to a different conclusion than commonly believed, highlighting the war's precarious nature.
