Abstract

Understandably, Afflerbach has less to say about Austria-Hungary, but "Germany's most important ally", as he calls it (19), still makes appearances at regular intervals throughout the book. For Afflerbach, the outcome of the war remained "on a knife's edge" until 1918, although he is also at pains to stress that after 1914 only two, albeit equally likely, results, were possible: a draw or an Allied victory.
