A pleasure to revisit this 1979 interview in 2021. Barbara's book *The Guns of August* (which President Kennedy was reading shortly before the Cuban Missile Crisis) is still read and devoured.
Her study of the 14th Century with all its disasters in *A Distant Mirror* was a departure for her and no less fascinating for all that.
