Historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Barbara Tuchman has
brought to life again the people and events that led up to Worl War
I. With attention to fascinating detail, and an intense knowledge
of her subject and its characters, Ms. Tuchman reveals, for the
first time, just how the war started, why, and why it could have
been stopped but wasn't. A classic historical survey of a time and
a people we all need to know more about, THE GUNS OF AUGUST will
not be forgotten.
