In this beautifully repackaged and reissued edition, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Barabara Tuchman reflects on the work of the historian and provides valuable insights on historical episodes and the lessons we can derive from them.
From thoughtful pieces on the historian's role to striking insights into America's past and present to trenchant observations on the international scene, Barbara Tuchman looks at history in a unique way and draws lessons from what she sees. The collection includes Tuchman's reflections on the craft of history, such as "The Historian as Artist"; selection of Tuchman's research, including a reflection on the origins of World War I; and finally historical essays that apply directly to Tuchman's contemporary world, such as her opinions on the Vietnam War.
