About the work

This compelling analysis, titled Military Strategy and the Origins of the First World War [9780691023496], sheds new light on how strategic decisions, alliance dynamics, and perceptions of power converged to spark a global conflict. It offers a rigorous, evidence-based examination that challenges simplistic narratives about inevitability and culpability.

Summary

The book dissects the strategic calculations of major powers on the eve of 1914, tracing how military planning, diplomacy, and neurotic risk-taking interacted to elevate crises into full-scale war. It combines theoretical clarity with case studies, revealing how misperceptions, mobilization timetables, and battlefield contingencies shaped policy choices across Europe.

About the authors

Steven E. Miller, a leading scholar in defense studies and international security, collaborates with Sean M. Lynn-Jones and Stephen M. Van Evera, renowned for their rigorous approach to international relations and strategic history. The trio brings a combined decades-long expertise in empirical research, theoretical framing, and the interpretation of strategic behavior, delivering a nuanced, interdisciplinary perspective on one of history’s defining moments.

In brief

The book culminates in a nuanced argument that military strategy and political decision-making, under pressure and misperception, can precipitate war even when leaders aim to avoid it.
