(Audiobook) This was a struggle for me to get through. I'm sure it was well-researched, but so much was focused on the private exchanges of different diplomats, it was very hard to keep track of all the different players. A good book for people who are super into WWI, but probably wasn't the best choice for me.

A few things I learned:
1. This is one of the first history books I've read since high school where I felt like my high school history knowledge was not full of lies.

2. People were so incredibly prejudiced 110 years ago. So many stupid decisions based on stereotypes, and so much projection.

3. Physical barriers to information traveling caused people to make a lot of faulty assumptions.

4. Everyone thought it was a justifiable defensive war from their point of view.
