Today, 1913 is inevitably viewed through the lens of 1914: as the last year before a war that would shatter the global economic order and tear Europe apart, undermining its global pre-eminence. Our perspectives narrowed by hindsight, the world of that year is reduced to its most frivolous features last summers in grand aristocratic residences or its most destructive ones: the unresolved rivalries of the great European powers, the fear of revolution, violence in the Balkans.

What did you like best about 1913: In Search of the World Before the Great War? What did you like least?
Interesting survey of the world on the eve of the First World War. Rich in detail about the political, economic, and cultural life of the great cities of the world in 1913.
What was one of the most memorable moments of 1913: In Search of the World Before the Great War?
The account of Woodrow Wilson's shameful refusal to do anything about institutional racism in the United States federal government.
What didn’t you like about Kevin Stillwell’s performance?
His narration includes dozens of egregious errors in the pronunciation of French, German, Italian, and Russian words. This really should have been better edited.
