The Road Less Traveled: The Secret Battle to End the Great War, 1916-1917

byPhilip Zelikow

Philip Zelikow uses The Road Less Traveled to investigate the Secret Battle to End the Great War, 1916-1917 through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
