Introduction: "I Could Have Practically Touched Him" -- "Tools" of Progress -- Worlds Apart -- Vying Visions -- An "Epic" Conspiracy! -- "World History Is Horrific from Up Close" -- Conclusion: "The Bottom of the Matter".
By narrating the Sarajevo assassination in a broad historical context, Misfire contends that the most consequential political murder in modern history would have remained inconsequential if not for the decisions made by the leaders of Europe's Great Powers.
