   Extractions: Barbara Tuchman (1912-1989) - original surname Wertheim American writer, noted for her popular histories. Tuchman was praised for her lucid style, narrative power and portrayal of the protagonists in world dramas as believable human beings. Meaning, in Tuchman's view, emerges not from preconceived design but from the aggregation of details and events that fall into a pattern. Tuchman was a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, whose subjects varied from the Trojan War to the Vietnam War, from description of medieval daily life to the portraits of world leaders of the First World War. "A phenomenon noticeable throughout history regardless of place or period is the pursuit of governments of policies to their own interests. Mankind, it seems, makes a poorer performance of government than of almost any human activity. In this sphere, wisdom, which may be defended as the exercise of judgment acting on experience, common sense and available information, is less operative and more frustrated than it should be. Why does holders of high office so often contrary to the way reason points and enlightened self-interest suggest? Why does intelligent mental process seem so often not to function?"

    Extractions: The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam by Barbara W. Tuchman In The March of Folly The decision of the Trojans, upon being presented with the wooden horse, to bring that fateful object into the city is presented by Tuchman as a sort of archetype for all the folly that has been perpetrated by governments since. The decision does meet two of the criteria presented above; Laocoon's warnings that the Greeks are not to be trusted, and the obvious option of investigating the horse (and its contents) more thoroughly before bringing it into Troy. And, although the fatal decision was "spur-of-the-moment" (thus not meeting the "more than one generation" criterion), it was a group effort. The Trojan horse incident and the less-known (but probably more pertinent) biblical story of Rehoboam serve as excellent early examples of Tuchman's concept of "folly." Moving along the historical time line, Tuchman next discusses the amazing series of events that led to American independence from Britain. The folly here, of course, if that of the British government, which, in the sentiments of many at that time, created a rebellion where no rebellious feeling had been present. This it did by, in the words of a contemporary figure, "asserting a right you know you cannot exert." That right, of course, was the right to tax the colonies without representation. What is amazing about the entire situation is that the British parliament had many opportunities to defuse the situation before independence became a rallying cry of the Americans. Out of ignorance and arrogance, and despite the warnings and advice of any number of competent men on both sides of the Atlantic, it refused to do so, and thus the colonies were lost.

She certainly wrote for the general reader rather than for academia, but her books are uniformly well-researched and readable. Her area of emphasis was the late 19th and early 20th centuries, though she went as far afield as the American Revolution ( The First Salute ) and the 14th century ( A Distant Mirror The Proud Tower concerns Europe at the end of 19th century.
