A fascinating work on the first 100 days of World War 1. Includes the
lead-up to the war and miscalculations on all sides. All participants
knew they did not have the resources to fight a long war, and expected
it to be over in short order. Then none wanted to lose either. A good
read. Tuchman has an easy reading style. This book won a Pulitzer
Prize.
