Barbara Wertheim Tuchman (January 30, 1912 - February 6, 1989) was an American historian and author. She won the Pulitzer Prize twice, for The Guns of August (1962), a best-selling history of the prelude to and the first month of World War I, and Stilwell and the American Experience in China (1971), a biography of General Joseph Stilwell
We need more people like her today. Great respect for her view
a very wise woman and brilliant historian
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.
This book is a warning to whats coming winter 2021
