I read that, only it was called "The Guns of August".  I think it won an award. 
 
Regardless of which book, the events of 100 years ago really force me to question my faith in humanity.  Absolutely no one came out of that looking good, and it doesn't help that they went right back for a second round twenty years later.

"Dad?"

"Who's there?"
 
"I thought you said you would remember me!"

It's the time of year that my mother is up and so I have been taking her around various places like Taste of London in Regents Park, to see relatives iin Kent, having ice cream from a pop up store in Victoria station so we had the Walls Ice Cream Champage Magnum ice cream, breakfast in the Red Riding cafe (which is a lot posher than a cafe) and eating in the rooftop pop up restaurant in Selfridges.
Very relaxing. And enjoyable for my mother.
Found 221b Baker's Street by accident as we took a differnt route returning from Regent's Park and Taste of London.

And lo, he spake "dsquery user -samid [username]" in the Window of Seemdy, and the daemons of Eldap were suddenly bent to his will!
