Media Reviews
Compelling...an important accomplishment for anyone with an interest in modern European history. Kirkus Reviews [A] masterpiece of historical interpretation...While innumerable works have analyzed the outbreak of both world wars in detail, these few pages present what most scholars regard as the last word on the question of German responsibility in each case...[and] shed considerable light on the entire course of German history. Thus all readers, whether specialties in the subject or not, can profit immensely from Hillgruber's judicious assessment. Library Journal
