Prøv gratisIn this Pulitzer Prize–winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I.
This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of kings and kaisers and czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed—and how horrible it became.
Tuchman masterfully portrays this transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, focusing on the turning point in the year 1914, the month leading up to the war, and the first month of the war. With fine attention to detail, she reveals how and why the war started and why it could have been stopped but wasn't, managing to make the story utterly suspenseful even when we already know the outcome.
A classic historical survey of a time and a people we all need to know more about, The Guns of August will not be forgotten.

Describes in a perfectly subtle manor how not lack of intelligence, but rather personal pride and lack of broader, human and political perspective outshun the opposite, and shaped the world we live in today.

Meget grundig beskrivelse af de første 30 dage af 1. Verdenskrig. Det var den periode hvor det blev afgjort at Tyskland ikke ville vinde en hurtig afgørende sejr (som de kom meget tæt på) men at det i stedet blev en udmarvende skyttegravskrig. Kun fire stjerner fordi den for min smag trods alt er for detaljeret, og mangler enhver beskrivelse af krigen set fra menige soldaters synspunkt. Men for mange militært interessede vil det være en femstjernet klassiker.
