Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914. The Price of Destruction. The Creation and Destruction of the Nazi Economy

A set of two books — «Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914» by Christopher Clark and «The Price of Destruction. The Creation and Destruction of the Nazi Economy» by Adam Tooze — offers a fundamental analysis of the origins of two world catastrophes. Clark meticulously reconstructs the fateful chain of decisions in July 1914, challenging the myths of sole blame. Tooze reveals the internal logic of the Nazi economy, showing how its ideological nature predetermined the path to total war and collapse. Two outstanding works that change the understanding of the causes and mechanisms of the greatest conflicts of the 20th century.
