1914-1918
In the summer of 1914 Europe exploded into a frenzy of mass violence. The war that followed had global repercussions and David Stevenson re-examines the causes, course and impact of this 'war to end war' placing it in the context of its era and exposing its underlying dynamics. This is a wide-ranging international history.
1917

The Origins of Freemasonry
This book is a new edition of David Stevenson's classic account of the origins of Freemasonry, a brotherhood of men bound together by secret initiatives, rituals and modes of identification with ideals of fraternity, equality, toleration and reason. Beginning in Britain, Freemasonry swept across Europe in the mid-eighteenth century in astonishing fashion--yet its origins are still hotly debated today. The prevailing assumption has been that it emerged in England around 1700, but David Stevenson demonstrates that the real origins of modern Freemasonry lie in Scotland around 1600, when the system of lodges was created by stonemasons with rituals and secrets blending medieval mythology with Ren...

Cataclysm
David Stevenson's widely acclaimed history of World War I changes forever our understanding of that pivotal conflict. Countering the commonplace assumption that politicians lost control of events, and that the war, once it began, quickly became an unstoppable machine, Stevenson contends that politicians deliberately took risks that led to war in July 1914. Far from being overwhelmed by the unprecedented scale and brutality of the bloodshed, political leaders on both sides remained very much in control of events throughout. According to Stevenson, the disturbing reality is that the course of the war was the result of conscious choices -- including the continued acceptance of astronomical casu...
The Scottish Revolution, 1637-1644
In 1637 Scotland exploded in rebellion against King Charles I. The events that followed have traditionally been interpreted in terms of religious conflict, but while accepting the importance of religious inspiration, The Scottish Revolution provides a narrative and analysis which stress the importance of political motivation. First published in 1973, this study is pioneering in seeking to interpret the upheaval as part of the wars of the three kingdoms - Ireland, England and Scotland.
