About the book

This set brings together two major works by Barbara W. Tuchman examining different patterns of human behaviour across history. A Distant Mirror explores fourteenth-century Europe through the life of the French nobleman Enguerrand de Coucy, while The March of Folly studies governments that repeatedly pursue policies contrary to their own interests. Together, the books combine vivid historical narrative with broader reflections on leadership, conflict and recurring political mistakes.
