						 Long book and only halfway through even with a good deal of time put in.  But I enjoy the book, and often use the internet to look up things I am less familiar with.   The premise is that European leaders sort of unconsciously sleepwalked their way into WWI.   The details in this book are amazing.  And a huge number of footnotes.  It really shows a great deal of diplomatic and logistical details of the way the nations worked into the war.  I tend to digest it in small segments because of the details.  High recommend for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the process of the set-up of WWI.  (I remember years ago reading The Guns of August, and learning a basic history....The Sleepwalkers, however, seems to be a scholarly, well researched book.  Probably more for the history nerd, but that suits me.   Michael Laabs
