The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman

As an eternal learner, I am constantly reading. I invite you each month to follow along with what I'm currently reading or check back periodically for hand-picked selections of my favorites. Here's what I'm reading this month:

On My Desk:

  • The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman
    • “What better time to reread Barbara Tuchman’s classic 1963 Pulitzer Prize winning account of the the opening days of the First World War, The Guns of August? The book is still a page turner and the classic warning that great powers can stumble into an unplanned war is timely. If you have never read this book, read it now. If you have read it, reread it. Its timeless lessons will resonate with every thoughtful reader.” -TC
