Given all the posts here lately on the Great War, I’m passing along a video clip of a talk I gave last year in Washington, DC, sponsored by the Foreign Policy Research Institute. My portion of the panel, which discusses Austria-Hungary’s disastrous missteps in the summer of 1914, begins at 43:45 (though the whole thing is worth your time if you’re a World War I buff), and a vigorous Q&A session follows the prepared remarks. Enjoy!
