Social Life in England 1750-1850-F. J. Foakes-Jackson

from Historical Backgrounds of the Great War; The War: Its Origins and Warnings · host Frank James Adkins

Author Frank J. Adkins, a lecturer at Cambridge University, arranged a series of European history lectures at the beginning of World War I for war-related organizations in the Sheffield area. Adkins expanded those lectures into long essays for publication as a book in 1915. The essays examine several centuries of history of Germany, France, England, and the Slavs, and they show how these histories contributed to the conflict that broke out in 1914. - Summary by Ted Lienhart
