Through a rich analysis of the political, technological, and social landscape of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, MacMillan chronicles a continent that once seemed on the brink of lasting harmony. She guides readers through the complex web of alliances, the influence of national ideologies, and the personal choices of the leaders who held the fate of millions in their hands. By bringing to life the individuals behind the historic decisions—capturing their strengths, weaknesses, and moments of human error—this narrative reveals how a peaceful Europe descended into chaos. Mirroring the challenges of our modern era, the book serves as a poignant reminder that while history is not predestined, the fragility of peace requires careful stewardship. This definitive history is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the pivotal moments that shaped our world and the recurring dangers of ignoring the lessons of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images, some yellowing, minor dust jacket wear, some initial pages folding, and some initial page damage)\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781846682728","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50517759918230,"sku":"e3_G93M424SGQMK","price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/3735_68e20614-ad70-4da2-8760-c45551032739.jpg?v=1790219778","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/the-war-that-ended-peace-by-margaret-macmillan","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
