I ended up buying this because it was so cheap. What you've told me explains the pro-British tone of the writing.
I haven't gotten that far yet into the book but Buchan does talk about the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and how the various countries ended up at war. This particular book doesn't say anything yet about the Schlieffen plan or Plan 17. I can't say yet if the abridgement limits this book to just battle highlights.
