Who started World War One? That is the all encompassing question Garet Garrett, accomplished economist, asks in this classic book from 1921. The amazing thing about this book, apart from its insightfullness into what or who really started World War One, and knowledge of World history, is the amazing predictions Garrett makes about the impending rise of Japan and the resurgence of Germany, leading to further conflicts. Two amazing predictions that proved to be horrifically accurate.
