When the World Stumbled into Darkness
What if the greatest catastrophe in human history wasn't the result of a master plan, but rather a series of blunders by leaders who never quite grasped what they were unleashing? On a summer day in 1914, Europe's most powerful nations sleepwalked into a war that would kill seventeen million people and destroy four empires. The peculiar tragedy wasn't that anyone wanted this outcome-it's that almost no one did. Christopher Clark's revolutionary account strips away the comfortable myth of German villainy and reveals something far more unsettling: a continent where every major power shares responsibility for stumbling into the abyss. His work matters today not as ancient history, but as a mirror reflecting our own era's dangerous alliances, nationalist fervor, and the terrifying ease with which regional conflicts can spiral beyond control.
