Author Frank J. Adkins, a lecturer at Cambridge University, arranged a series of European history lectures at the beginning of World War I for war-related organizations in the Sheffield area. Adkins expanded those lectures into long essays for publication as a book in 1915. The essays examine several centuries of history of Germany, France, England, and the Slavs, and they show how these histories contributed to the conflict that broke out in 1914. - Summary by Ted Lienhart

Characters are the soul of your novel. This is why you need to make them memorable. The authors of this novel have done research so you don't have to. This book includes dialogue (what not to do and how to make the characters distinguishable), how to do background stories (what draws readers in and what makes them turn the pages), physical appearance (not everyone should look the same, adding diversity makes your story believable).... and so much more.
