Why read it?
1 author picked Contesting the Origins of the First World War as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Paddock brings together the work of three revisionist historians, myself, McMeekin, and Schmidt, in one slim (136 pages) volume. In particular, Paddock gives access to Schmidt’s important work on French planning for those who do not read German.

From Terence's list on new revisionist military history.
