"The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman

4 stars

I really enjoyed this book. The content is solid history, but I will say this, Tuchman makes no bones about her opinions regarding the human costs of this conflict, and the men who caused that price to be payed.

All in all, I feel that this iconic work is iconic for good reason, and should be a part of the library of anyone who has interest in the Great War.
