Probably more information than I wanted (there's only 562 pages of text, the rest footnotes and blank pages).
His basic theme is that there is no one culprit for the war and the machinery of international relations was too diffuse and complex. Probably as a counter to a prevailing view that Germany was primarily responsible, the author paints a rather bleak picture of Serbian, Russian, and French moves from 1900 onward.
