revatio Christopher Clark???s breathtakingly good book is, much more self-consciously than Tuchman???s, also a history for its ??? that is, our ??? times. An act of terrorism in Sarajevo ??? the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne and his wife ??? led the Austrian government to make demands on Serbia. If not quite a terror state, Serbia had close links to terrorism and made no effort to hide its view that Austria had it coming. The boundaries between official state policy, the army and clandestine terrorist cells were blurred at best. The Serbian prime minister, Nikola Pa??ić, may not have planned the assassination but he clearly knew about it in some detail and failed to pass on any but the most vague ??? in today???s terms ???not actionable??? ??? warnings to Austria. Serbia had something to answer for.
