In 1914 Europe plunged into the 20th century's first terrible act of self-immolation - what was then called "The Great War'. In this centenary year, Max Hastings seeks to explain both how the conflict came about and what befell millions of men and women during the first months of strife.

Catastrophe offers some answers to the huge question 'what happened to Europe in 1914?' Through Hastings's accustomed blend of top-down and bottom-up accounts from a multitude of statesmen and generals, peasants, housewives and private soldiers of seven nations, the book pricks myths and presents some striking and controversial judgements to offer an engrossing and deeply moving account of this misunderstood conflict.
