I've just started reading A.J.P. Taylor's controversial "The Origins of the Second World War". It was published in 1961 and used the newly released records from that time. The book is controversial because it lays bare just how much of the blame for the tragedy that followed should be spread more widely than the popular myths we remember today.

It’s curious that Keynes describes WWI as Europe’s Civil War as seen from London POV. I read one of the key drivers for the formation of a EU was to avoid future wars, but I guess a civil war is always something possible.
