The Trigger: Hunting the Assassin Who Brought the World to War by Tim Butcher

5.0

I picked this book up expecting a history of the man who kick started WWI, I did get that from the book, but it was only a very small part of the book. Butcher gives much more than that. As he retraces the footsteps of the assassin, we end up getting more of a history of Bosnia during the time leading up to the first world war as well as the turmoil of the 90's. Along the way we are given some interesting insights to the current mood of the country and its citizens. This is sown together nicely with the thread of Gavrilo Princip's life.
