What is The Guns of August : The Outbreak of World War I; Barbara W. Tuchman's Great War Series about?
Review “Fascinating . . . One of the finest works of history written . . . A splendid and glittering performance.” –_The New York Times _ “MORE DRAMATIC THAN FICTION . . . A MAGNIFICENT NARRATIVE . . . elegantly phrased, skillfully paced and sustained . . . The product of painstaking and sophisticated research.” –_Chicago Tribune_ “A BRILLIANT PIECE OF MILITARY HISTORY which proves up to the hilt the force of Winston Churchill’s statement that the first month of World War I was ‘a drama never surpassed.’ A writer with an impeccable sense of telling detail, Mrs. Tuchman is able to evoke both the enormous pattern of the tragedy and the minutiae which make it human.” –_Newsweek_ “[A] BEAUTIFULLY ORGANIZED, COMPELLING NARRATIVE.” –_San Francisco Chronicle _ “AN EPIC NEVER FLAGGING IN SUSPENSE . . . It seemed hardly possible that anything new of significance could be said about the prelude to and the first month of World War I. But this is exactly what Mrs. Tuchman has succeeded in doing . . . by transforming the drama’s protagonists as well as its immense supporting cast, from half-legendary and half shadowy figures into full-dimensional, believable persons.” –_The Christian Science Mo
