I never cared much for WWI, it did not interest me, but this year I slowly felt some appetite growing to close that knowledge gap. I must admit that although they say the author is a famous expert for Prussian history, I cannot remember to ever have heard of him - if I did, I have forgotten it.

I know a friend who has read it and rates it as better than average.
