Note 489 — BOOK VIII THE AGE OF THE GREAT POWERS (continued 6)

A very good book for the expansion of this chapter is Stearns Davis’ (with Anderson and Tyler) Armed Peace, a history of Europe from 1870 to 1914. Even more illuminating is G. P. Gooch’s History of Our Time (1885-1911). This is quite a tiny book, but very clear and thorough. It was revised in its present form in February, 1914, so that its title is misleading; it comes up to 1914. It contains an excellent student’s bibliography.
