The Making of the First World War examines the events and decisions that turned a European crisis into a global, industrial conflict. Rather than treating the war only as a sequence of battles, Beckett considers the diplomatic, military, technological and social developments that determined its scale and character. The book highlights crucial turning points from mobilisation and trench warfare to wider imperial participation and the eventual exhaustion of the Central Powers.
