Max Hastings. Catastrophe 1914: Europe Goes to War. New York, NY: Knopf, September 24th, 2013. 672 pp.
This is a massive work on the work up to World War One and the first year of the war, authored by a famous military historian named Max Hastings. Earlier I have read the book Guns of August before I started listening to this audio book. I was interested in this work after hearing it referenced several times during different episodes from the Youtube channel on the Great War, which gives a weekly account of the war a hundred year ago. I figured it was worthwhile given how it’s a resource for the producers.
