One of the best comparative surveys of the war plans and strategic thinking of the General Staffs from the Franco-Prussian War to 1914. . . . An ambitious and interesting book both in its historical scope and in its theoretical implications for military decision making. -Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science

<p> One of the best comparative surveys of the war plans and strategic thinking of the General Staffs from the Franco-Prussian War to 1914. . . .

<p> Jack Snyder has a keen sensitivity to major pre-war diplomatic and strategic policy; there are few events which have escaped his notice and scarcely any material which he has not covered. Much of what he says will be of great and new interest .to strategic historians. Samuel R. Williamson, Jr., University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
