内容简介：
A landmark work of history that challenges our most basic
assumptions about the causes and consequences of the First World
War
In The Pity of War, Niall Ferguson makes a simple and
provocative argument: that the human atrocity known as the Great
War was entirely England's fault. Britain, according to Ferguson,
entered into war based on nave assumptions of German aims-and
England's entry into the war transformed a Continental conflict
into a world war, which they then badly mishandled, necessitating
American involvement. The war was not inevitable, Ferguson argues,
but rather the result of the mistaken decisions of individuals who
would later claim to have been in the grip of huge impersonal
forces.
That the war was wicked, horrific, inhuman, is memorialized in
part by the poetry of men like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon,
but also by cold statistics. More British soldiers were killed in
the first day of the Battle of the Somme than Americans in the
Vietnam War; indeed, the total British fatalities in that single
battle-some 420,000-exceeds the entire American fatalities for both
World Wars. And yet, as Ferguson writes, while the war itself was a
disastrous folly, the great majority of men who fought it did so
with enthusiasm. Ferguson vividly brings back to life this
terrifying period, not through dry citation of chronological
chapter and verse but through a series of brilliant chapters
focusing on key ways in which we now view the First World War.
For anyone wanting to understand why wars are fought, why men
are willing to fight them, and why the world is as it is today,
there is no sharper nor more stimulating guide than Niall
Ferguson's The Pity of War.

媒体评论
"A rich and provocative book, evocative and heartbreaking.
Ferguson is a talented writer and a versatile scholar." --
The
Atlantic Monthly
"An illuminating synthesis of current knowledge on the war. The
reader will find plenty of fresh information and challenging ideas
on the conflict's most important aspects." --
The New York Times
Book Review
"Brings for the first time the carnage of 1914-18 into sharp,
unmystified focus.
This is analytical history at its mordant best. With all its
other merits, The Pity of War is also a work of grace and feeling."
--
The Economist
"[Niall Ferguson is] the most talked-about British historian of his
generation." --
The New York Times
