War By Timetable by A. J. P. Taylor
An accessible revisionist study that argues the outbreak of 1914 was driven less by grand designs than by the mechanical realities of mobilization: detailed railway timetables, rigid military plans and the need to move large armies on fixed schedules turned diplomatic hesitations into a run-away process, so that once certain timetables began to be executed governments found themselves compelled to escalate, producing a general European war from what started as a regional crisis.
