Barbara W. Tuchman (1912–1989) achieved prominence as a historian with The Zimmermann Telegram and international fame with The Guns of August—a huge bestseller and winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Her other works include Bible and Sword, The Proud Tower, Stilwell and the American Experience in China (for which Tuchman was awarded a second Pulitzer Prize), Notes from China, A Distant Mirror, Practicing History, The March of Folly, and The First Salute.
“Tuchman’s best book . . . so large in scope, so crammed with
information, so clear in exposition, so assured in tone that one is
tempted to say it is not a book but an education.”—The New
Yorker
“The most interesting and informative book on U.S.–China relations
. . . a brilliant, lucid and authentic account.”—The Nation
“A fantastic and complex story finely told.”—The New York Times
