History Isn't Dead: Why 'The Guns of August' Should Be Required Reading Everywhere

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: It only covers the lead in and the first month of WW I, but its observations last well into today. A must read.
Review: When I first read Barbara Tuchman's ‘The Guns of August' back while I was in college in the late 90's, I found it an entertaining and educational read. This past week I revisited the book again and am compelled to add another adjective to the list;...

A Month When Modern History Lay In The Balance

Date of Review:  May 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: Barbara Tuchman gives a detailed explanation of the causes of World War I and how it developed into the long, grueling conflict that it became. It's both exciting and informative.
