Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Writing With A Clarity, Grace, And Novelistic Sweep Rare Among Historians, Barbara W. Tuchman (19121989) Distilled The Complex Interplay Of Personalities And Events Into Gripping Narratives That Fuse Rigorous Scholarship With Elegant Literary Art. An Astute Portraitist, She Brilliantly Laid Bare The Alltoohuman Failures Of Leaders Subject To The Pull Of Historical Currents And Prone, Often Tragically, To The Ingrained Biases Of Culture And Temperament. Her Pulitzer Prizewinning Best Seller The Guns Of August (1962) Offers A Majestic Orchestration Of The Diplomatic And Military History Of The Crucial First Weeks Of World War I. Tuchman'S Observations About The Irrational Escalation Of Conflict Made A Deep Impression On President John F. Kennedy And Influenced His Actions During The Cuban Missile Crisis; Fifty Years Later, The Guns Of August Remains An Exemplary Study Of Events Propelled Headlong By Their Own Internal Logic And Momentum. Some Of Tuchman'S Finest Writing Is Contained In Her Following Book, The Proud Tower: A Portrait Of The World Before The War, 18901914 (1966), A Fascinating Kaleidoscope Of Eight Precisely Drawn Essays On Subjects Ranging From International Socialism And Anarchism To The Dreyfus Affair In France And The Birth Of American Imperialism That Collectively Set The Stage For The Cataclysm Of 1914. Presented In One Volume For The First Time And Released To Mark Tuchman'S Centennial Year And The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The Publication Of The Guns Of August, Here Is A Vivid, Indelible Panorama Of An Epoch In Transition.Library Of America Is An Independent Nonprofit Cultural Organization Founded In 1979 To Preserve Our Nation?S Literary Heritage By Publishing, And Keeping Permanently In Print, America?S Best And Most Significant Writing.
