46. Book Reviews - The Guns Of August By Barbara Tuchman
    Book Reviews The Guns of August by barbara tuchman.  
    http://www.abbottsys.com/reviews.html
    
    Extractions: In the early days of August 1914 Germany mobilized seven armies. Their plan, years in the making, was to sweep in a giant arc across Europe and, by the end of the month, descend on Paris, the heart of their longtime enemy. The events of August 1914 were the opening salvos of what that generation called The Great War, and what the next had reason to rename World War I. It it this single month that Barbara Tuchman treats in her Pulitzer Prize winning book The Guns of August (1962.) Tuchman is a master of detail, and lays the ground rules for her readers in an Author’s Note at the beginning of the book, "All condition of weather, thoughts or feelings, and states of mind public or private, in the following pages have documentary support.." The result is a 440pp narrative that at times can be frustrating, with extensive descriptions of generals and geography, but which paints a vivid picture of a cataclysmic event that erased a generation of young men. It is well worth reading. Tuchman covers the two major theatres of war, the European (or Western) front and the Russian (or eastern) front. She omits the war in the Balkans, centered around Turkey, except that she devotes an interesting chapter to the pursuit of the German battleship Goeben by Allied forces in the Mediterranean. The Goeben finally took refuge in the Turkish Dardenelles while Turkey was still neutral and thus precipitated its entry into the War on the side of Germany. The subsequent Allied fighting in the Balkans against Turkey included the ill fated Gallipoli campaign where so many British troops died.

    Extractions: Skip to content Search Sections Personal tools You are here: Home Members cmcurtin's Home The Zimmermann Telegram, Barbara Tuchman Document Actions The Zimmermann Telegram chronicles Germany's entrance into the War and her efforts to keep the U.S. neutral, even as England attempted to persuade the U.S. to join the Allies. Problems south of the border were an immediate concern for Wilson, who was inaugurated just as a coup The story is masterfully told: several themes are weaved together to carry the reader effortlessly through the intrigues of international politics at the dawn of the twentieth century. Writing in the text is a pleasure to read, engaging and elegant. Tuchman is best known for her later works including The Guns of August (which influenced President Kennedy greatly during the Cuban Missile Crisis), but even this early work stands out as excellent presentation of history. I managed to acquire a copy of an edition produced by The Folio Society, bound in cloth, complete with a case. The book is typeset nicely and includes photographs of critical characters such as Wilson, Wilhelm, Admiral Sir William Reginald Hall, Huerta, General Venustiano Carranza, and General Pancho Villa.

Requires eMusic Download Manager The fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and the exquisitely decorated Books of Hours; and on the other, a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague. Barbara Tuchman reveals both the great rhythms of history and the grain and texture of domestic life as it was lived. Here are the guilty passions, loyalties and treacheries, political assassinations, sea battles and sieges, corruption in high places and a yearning for reform, satire and humor, sorcery and demonology, and lust and sadism on the stage. Here are proud cardinals, beggars, feminists, university scholars, grocers, bankers, mercenaries, mystics, lawyers and tax collectors, and, dominating all, the knight in his valor and “furious follies,” a “terrible worm in an iron cocoon.” Barbara W. Tuchman

A brick of a text, but great. Quite simply, it is over 500 pages on the life history of a French lord who lived in the 13th century. The remains of his castle are still around, although much decimated by time and WWI, and really, there is not a lot of direct evidence of how he lived his life (such as a personal diary, or his wardrobe, etc.). Tuchman crafts his like out bits and pieces of history, place, and literature and for the jigsaw-life nature of her studies, it is a remarkably insightful book. Tuchman's study and analysis are of course impeccible — her stellar reputation as a historian continues unabated and with reason — but she is also a writer who can craft a story in a personal and engaging way. I think her ability as a storyteller is often overlooked amidst the praises for her scholarly triumph. I first read this book when I was 13 and have read it again several times since. History interests me inordinately anyway, but what draws me to the book is how Tuchman creates a world that is very accesible and understandable. Her choice of title
