Meet and Discuss The Guns of August - Barbara Tuchman
Details
At no cost to you, let's meet at J. Christopher's for brunch while we discuss this month's selection: The Guns of August - Barbara Tuchman.
Description: In this landmark, Pulitzer Prize–winning account, renowned historian Barbara W. Tuchman re-creates the first month of World War I: thirty days in the summer of 1914 that determined the course of the conflict, the century, and ultimately our present world. Beginning with the funeral of Edward VII, Tuchman traces each step that led to the inevitable clash. And inevitable it was, with all sides plotting their war for a generation. Dizzyingly comprehensive and spectacularly portrayed with her famous talent for evoking the characters of the war’s key players, Tuchman’s magnum opus is a classic for the ages. (Jan. 1962, 698 pages)
Let's wrap up this book by discussing Chapters 10-22.
