Isvolsky and the World War provides a critical examination of the diplomatic machinations that led to the outbreak of the First World War, focusing specifically on the influential role of Alexander Isvolsky, the former Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ambassador to France. Through a meticulous analysis of diplomatic correspondence and state papers, Friedrich Stieve explores the intricate web of alliances and secret agreements that shaped European politics in the early 20th century.

The work delves into the strategies of the Triple Entente and investigates Isvolsky's efforts to secure Russian interests in the Balkans and the Turkish Straits. By scrutinizing the correspondence between key political figures, Stieve offers a provocative perspective on the responsibility for the global conflict, highlighting the tensions between the major European powers and the complex motivations of their leading statesmen.
