Product Information
A prize-winning, magisterial history of World War I from the perspective of the defeated Central Powers For the Central Powers, the First World War started with high hopes for an easy victory. But those hopes soon deteriorated as Germany's attack on France failed, Austria-Hungary's armies suffered catastrophic losses, and Britain's ruthless blockade brought both nations to the brink of starvation. The Central powers were trapped in the Allies' ever-tightening Ring of Steel. In this compelling history, Alexander Watson retells the war from the perspective of its losers: not just the leaders in Berlin and Vienna, but the people of Central Europe. The war shattered their societies, destroyed their states, and imparted a poisonous legacy of bitterness and violence. A major reevaluation of the First World War, Ring of Steel is essential for anyone seeking to understand the last century of European history.

Reviews
"In a year dominated by memories of the First World War, this supremely accomplished book stands out. Not only does it look at the conflict from the perspective of the losing Central Powers, imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary, but it brings together political, military, economic and cultural history in an enormously impressive narrative." -- Sunday Times (UK) History Book of the Year, "This book, at times gripping, at other times poignant, and always revealing, marks a valuable contribution to [the] debate on the war's place in twentieth-century history." -- Financial Times, "In a year crowded with histories of World War I, Alexander Watson's Ring of Steel makes a truly indispensable contribution in allowing us to see from the inside out this disastrous alliance between Austria and imperial Germany.... It is a mark of talent in a historian to take familiar narratives and open them to new interpretation. Mr. Watson's book is a brilliant demonstration of this skill." -- Wall Street Journal "In a year dominated by memories of the First World War, this supremely accomplished book stands out. Not only does it look at the conflict from the perspective of the losing Central Powers, imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary, but it brings together political, military, economic and cultural history in an enormously impressive narrative." -- Sunday Times History Book of the Year, UK "Remarkable ... the first comprehensive history of the war written from the perspective of the Central Powers." -- Los Angeles Review of Books " Ring of Steel is perhaps the most important of the current crop of [WWI] books--and certainly one of the best." -- Guardian , UK "This book, at times gripping, at other times poignant, and always revealing, marks a valuable contribution to the debate on the war's place in 20th century history." -- Financial Times , UK "A fresh approach in analyzing the conflict.... Watson's main concern here is to try and figure out why the loss of the war for the Central Powers created the unstable states that emerged in the aftermath of the conflict. He finishes off the task he has set himself here with considerable precision and skill." -- Daily Beast "British historians have tended to view the Great War predominantly from the side of the Allies. Watson has done our understanding an inestimable service by examining these familiar events from the perspective of the Central Powers." -- Telegraph , UK, Choice "Watson has contributed a definitive resource to the literature on the strategic enigma being debated during the centennial of WW I.", Library Journal "In a centennial anniversary crowded with titles on World War I, Watson's book stands out and will appeal both to readers with a casual interest in the history of the Great War and to specialists seeking a balanced and nuanced view of the event.", "British historians have tended to view the Great War predominantly from the side of the Allies. Watson has done our understanding an inestimable service by examining these familiar events from the perspective of the Central Powers."-- Telegraph (UK), Financial Times, UK "This book, at times gripping, at other times poignant, and always revealing, marks a valuable contribution to debate on the war's place in 20th century history.", "British historians have tended to view the Great War predominantly from the side of the Allies.

I highly recommend this book to students of World War I and indeed anyone who wants to see how the Central Powers dealt with the stresses of war on the homefront. They will not find a better, fairer history because it has not yet been written." -- Battles and Book Reviews, "Remarkable...the first comprehensive history of the war written from the perspective of the Central Powers."-- Los Angeles Review of Books, "Watson has contributed a definitive resource to the literature on the strategic enigma being debated during the centennial of WW I."-- Choice, Sunday Times, UK "Every worthwhile new book surprises or stimulates. Alexander Watson achieves this effect by asserting that the most potent moral force in wartime Germany between 1914 and 1918 was not hate, but love -- of Fatherland, comrades and relatives at the front.... There have been so many social histories of wartime Britain that it is good to see here a mirror portrait of the other side of the hill.", Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "Ring of Steel stands out among this year's flood of books marking the 100th anniversary of World War I's start. History buffs will appreciate its distinctive approach, which emphasizes what the publisher calls 'the perspectives of (World War I's) instigators and losers.'", Ring of Steel is perhaps the most important of the current crop of [WWI] books -- and certainly one of the best."-- Guardian (UK), Battles and Book Reviews "Illuminating... an outstanding book that has been scrupulously researched. I highly recommend this book to students of World War I and indeed anyone who wants to see how the Central Powers dealt with the stresses of war on the homefront. They will not find a better, fairer history because it has not yet been written.", Open Letters Monthly "One of the most comprehensive and readable assessments of the wartime roles of Germany and Austria-Hungary ever published in English; the book is an impressive, thorough tour de force.", Winner of the Guggenheim-Lehrman Prize in Military History Winner of the Wolfson History Prize The Society of Military History 2015 Distinguished Book Award Recipient British Army Military Book of the Year, "Illuminating...an outstanding book that has been scrupulously researched. I highly recommend this book to students of World War I and indeed anyone who wants to see how the Central Powers dealt with the stresses of war on the homefront. They will not find a better, fairer history because it has not yet been written."-- Battles and Book Reviews, Publishers Weekly "Watson makes a major contribution to the ever-growing historiography of WWI with this comprehensive analysis of the war efforts of the primary Central Powers: Germany and Austria-Hungary.", Guardian, UK "Ring of Steel is perhaps the most important of the current crop of [WWI] books - and certainly one of the best.", Houston Chronicle "For those who already have a general knowledge of the war, Ring of Steel is a good addition to their understanding.", Telegraph, UK "British historians have tended to view the Great War predominantly from the side of the Allies.
