About the book

This set brings together two major works by Barbara W. Tuchman examining the world before the First World War and the dramatic opening of the conflict. The Proud Tower explores European society, politics and culture in the years leading up to 1914, while The Guns of August traces the military and diplomatic decisions that shaped the war's first month. Together, they provide a vivid portrait of how a confident pre-war civilisation moved toward catastrophe.
