1913: The Eve of War by Paul Ham

3.0

1913: The Eve of War is an interesting read on the run-up to the first world war. However, Ham's explanation of those events comes across as opinion because he rarely substantiates his arguments in any substantive way. Perhaps this isn't a fair review because opinion is exactly what the Amazon book description claims the writing to be (using the word "essay"); I'm essentially accusing the author of writing what he claimed to write in the first place and using it against him. His use of advanced vocabulary aside, I might have expected a bit more scholarly approach to the essay.

Still, Ham offers an interesting take on the causative factors of World War I.
