British Book News, 'Gordon Martel has done the impossible: he has made James Joll's The Origins of the First World War once more the premier study on why war came in 1914...Martel has not simply updated Joll's contribution but enhanced and improved it... A triumph of both scholarship and editorial talent; James Joll would have been pleased.' Samuel R. Williamson Jr., University of the South.

Edition Description
Revised edition,New Edition
Synopsis
James Joll's study is not simply another narrative, retracing the powder trail that was finally ignited at Sarajevo. It is an ambitious and wide-ranging analysis of the historical forces at work in the Europe of 1914, and the very different ways in which historians have subsequently attempted to understand them. The importance of the theme, the breadth and sympathy of James Joll's scholarship, and the clarity of his exposition, have all contributed to the spectacular success of the book since its first appearance in 1984. Revised by Gordon Martel, this new 3rd edition accommodates recent research and an expanded further reading section.

    Discovered a gem at Grandma Smith's Treasure as a first time buyer! Great communication pre- and post-sale. The volume received was reasonably priced and better than described in the listing; definitely an instance of under promising and over delivering. Shipping was included with the list price which was nice. Packaging was sufficient. Shipping and delivery time was outstanding especially considering the span of a different region. Quality ✅ Condition ✅ Value ✅ Packaging ✅ Appearance ✅ Thanks!

    Great seller, exactly as pictured/described. quick shipping, well packaged. However, shipping label has different name so it makes it hard to match it up with the order/seller name.
