Trust me, if it changed the way you understand the world, then it definitely qualifies as being 'mind blowing'.

Really interesting choice - I haven't heard of the book before, but the early development of the first world war has always seemed really fascinating to me since I studied it in school, everything from the "powder keg" of pre-war Europe to the failure of all the great powers' battle plans and the formation of the stalemate. Thanks for the suggestion!
