The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman

The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman

Tuchman covers only the first month of the war and shows how a continent walked into four years of slaughter through timetables, wounded pride and plans that could not be stopped once begun.

It opens with the funeral of Edward VII, at which nine kings rode behind the coffin and most of Europe's ruling families were related to each other. Then the Schlieffen Plan, the Belgian resistance nobody had allowed for, the French cult of the offensive, and the Marne. Kennedy read it during the Cuban missile crisis and told his brother he did not want anyone writing The Missiles of October.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and one of the finest works of narrative history ever written.
