Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour. In 1914 the world changed. Europe's great powers were dragged, one by one, into a war by Serbian conflict which affected very few of them directly. At least it would resemble the short sharp battles of the previous century, many thought - fought with military bands, horsemen, and swift victories.

What disappointed you about 1914: History in an Hour?
I am not a historian by any stretch, but WW1 is a particularly interesting subject to me that I enjoy knowing more about. You can't fault a "History in an Hour" book for missing large chunks of info you might expect on a given subject, even when it is covering only a single year of history. The tone of this book, though, does not jive with other histories I have read in its (I would argue) rosy depiction of Serbia and the Serbian cause. Also, the book is on the outbreak and first season of WW1 but ends with a historically rough transition to the end of WW1 as if to illustrate to the listener that the rest of the war was uneventful.
