Excellent- More about On a Knife Edge: How Germany Lost the First World War
The outcome of the First World War was on a knife edge, with Germany not as committed to all-out conquest as previously thought. Holger Afflerbach's new account of German wartime politics and strategy reveals the struggles between supporters of peace and hardliners who wanted to fight to the finish.

The outcome of the First World War was a matter of great uncertainty and was in the balance until relatively late in the war, according to Holger Afflerbach in his major new account of German wartime politics and strategy. Afflerbach uses new evidence from diaries, letters, and memoirs to fundamentally revise our understanding of German strategy from the decision to go to war to the failure of the western offensive to the radicalisation of Germany's war effort under Hindenburg and Ludendorff and the ultimate collapse of the Central Powers. He uncovers the struggles in wartime Germany between supporters of peace and hardliners who wanted to fight to the finish. Afflerbach suggests that Germany was not nearly as committed to all-out conquest as previous accounts argue and that numerous German peace advances could have offered the opportunity to end the war before it dragged Europe into the abyss.
