THE PROUD TOWER by Barbara Tuchman /PRE - WORLD WAR I

Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE-------------THE PROUD TOWER: A PORTRAIT OF THE WORLD BEFORE THE WAR: 1890-1914by Barbara Tuchman.THE PROUD TOWER by Barbara Tuchman examines the Western World of approximately 100 years ago. Technologically the world was very different from today, but the strifes between economic groups and among nations bears many similarities to our own time. Tuchman examines the economic, social, political, and technological world of the period 1890-1914. By this period, the United States had become an important player in world affairs. The Haymarket Affair in Chicago fueled the development of international anarchism which led to the assassinations of political figures in Russia, Italy, France and lastly President McKinley in the United States. Tuchman's unraveling of the the Dreyfus Affair is, in itself, worth the price of the book. In THE PROUD TOWER Tuchman describes the western world that exploded into The Great War (which she describes in THE GUNS OF AUGUST).PLUS----there are L-O-A-D-S of photos!!You are looking on the statedBantam Editionfrom November 1970.Other than an 1/8-inch paper tear at the top of the spine, both the cover and the book are in positively excellent condition.
