Stupid people are great at winning arguments, because they're too stupid to realize they've lost.

Tuchmann's narrative of the war's first month is fantastic but the analysis she gives of why the war broke out is absolutely dreadful. Read Jane Austen instead.

Yeah, it sounds good but I don't think many historians today would describe the war as inevitable.
