Abstract: On the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, Deluge is a powerful explanation of why the war's legacy continues to shape our world. Tooze shows how the fate of effectively the whole of civilization - the British Empire, the future of peace in Europe, the survival of the Weimar Republic, both the Russian and Chinese revolutions and stability in the Pacific - now came to revolve around this new power's fraught relationship with a shockingly changed world. The Deluge is both a brilliantly illuminating exploration of the past and an essential history for the present (Texto del editor)
