re: #309 Feline Fearless Leader

Between _Guns of August_ and Massie’s _Dreadnought_ you can get a real good view of how politically screwed up Europe was in the 1900-1915 period. Wasn’t a question of “Would there be a war?” as compared to “When will the war start?”

I *knew* there was something I could blow an Audible credit on.

Never read Dreadnought, read the Proud Tower/Guns of August series in dead tree back in the day (note: not actually a series, more like two highly complementary works by the same author).
