The Guns of August

BUCK: The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman. World War I absolute classic. It’s really about just the beginning and the lead-up to it. It’s about a funeral of a royal and all the European royals who showed up. And this is in the months before the breakout of World War I. And it’s meant to somehow like that whole world of monarchy is dissolving, effectively, and it dissolves into First World War and it changes the modern world globally as a result. And it’s a really compelling.
