[＜em＞A World Undone＜/em＞] is a book of true greatness that prompts moments of sheer joy and pleasure. . . . It will earn generations of admirers.”＜em＞ーThe Washington Times＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞On a summer day in 1914, a nineteen-year-old Serbian nationalist gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. While the world slumbered, monumental forces were shaken. In less than a month, a combination of ambition, deceit, fear, jealousy, missed opportunities, and miscalculation sent Austro-Hungarian troops marching into Serbia, German troops streaming toward Paris, and a vast Russian army into war, with England as its ally. As crowds cheered their armies on, no one could guess what lay ahead in the First World War: four long years of slaughter, physical and moral exhaustion, and the near collapse of a civilization that until 1914 had dominated the globe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞A World Undone＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Meyer’s sketches of the British Cabinet, the Russian Empire, the aging Austro-Hungarian Empire . . . are lifelike and plausible.
