The First World War holds
less fascination for me than World War II but with this year being the
centenary of its outbreak the BBC are putting out an impressive array of
programs, including 37 Days, shown over three nights, commencing yesterday and
concluding tomorrow; dramatizing the diplomatic manoeuvring in Berlin, London
and Vienna (within as well as between the nations) in the summer of 1914, it is
quite gripping to see events unfold, slowly slipping out of the politicians’
control as the momentum of their brinkmanship becomes unstoppable – the last
four days play out tomorrow, are you watching Putin, Obama & Cameron?
