Quotes
Although the assassination at Sarajevo was certainly the crucial precedent of the European war that its conspirators had sought, it was not the historical cause. ... The implication is that the war was, if not inevitable, at least impending, so that the assassination acted as a lever, prying the various powers into predictable paths.
Assassin! (New York: St. Martin's Press, 1979) p. 44. See Vaso Čubrilović and Andrei Zhelyabov
