The World War That Nobody Wanted

This book explores how the timing of decisions—rather than individual motivations—shaped the course of the First World War and echoes into today's world. It examines the concept of a "reserve" of decision-making time and illustrates how its depletion across countries led to the outbreak of conflict in 1914. The narrative also considers how modern technology accelerates decision processes, highlighting the ongoing challenge of managing time and responses in complex situations.
