And he succeeds especially well in unravelling the complex political and regional forces that played such an important part in the origins and history of the war.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780753821657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 01 Jul 2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Orion Publishing Co\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 21.4(H)x13.6(L)x4.8(W)650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 650\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eAntony Beevor served as a regular officer in the 11th Hussars in Germany.
