“Honor wears different coats to different eyes": First Edition of Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August
First edition of Tuchman's Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the opening episodes of World War I. Octavo, original black cloth, cartographic endpapers, illustrated. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket, inscription to the verso of the front free endpaper. Jacket design by Ellen Raskin. An exceptionally nice example.
“More dramatic than fiction… The Guns of August is a magnificent narrative—beautifully organized, elegantly phrased, skillfully paced and sustained… The product of painstaking and sophisticated research” (Chicago Tribune). An immediate bestseller, Tuchman’s celebrated history of World War I won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction. It also served as the basis for the critically acclaimed 1964 documentary compiled from archival footage by Nathan Kroll. Listed by Modern Library as one of the greatest English-language nonfiction books of the 20th century.
