Jury Citation
“The world had been at peace for decades when, in 1914, European leaders triggered a global war that none of them wanted. With The War That Ended Peace, Margaret MacMillan has written the definitive account of the political events that led to three decades of conflict – and explains their relevance to today’s militaries, governments, and societies.” – 2013 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing Jury (Licia Corbella, Jane O’Hara, and Doug Saunders)
