The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is
historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the
explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new
scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I,
focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war
itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led
a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal
conflict. Clark traces the paths to war in a
minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between
the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg,
Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of
history that informed the events of 1914 and details the
mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove
the crisis forward in a few short weeks. Meticulously
researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark’s
The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative
chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world
apart.
