Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB overall condition book which is a classic history of the 25 years before World War I written by historian BARBARA W. TUCHMAN--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy. This book is in SUPERB overall condition and the book itself has very light dings on the spine and opening tips, slight dustwear on the upper page edge and just evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant flaws; the dustjacket has small tears and light dings on the spine tips, slight dings on the opening tips and a tiny tear on the upper left corner of the back cover and just very light shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws! The book is titled The Proud Tower--A Portrait of the world before the War: 1890-1914 and it was written by BARBARA W. TUCHMAN; it was published by The Macmillan Company in 1966 and is a STATED 1st PRINTING copy.During the fateful quarter century leading up to World War I, the climax of a century of rapid, unprecedented change, a privileged few enjoyed Olympian luxury as the underclass was “heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate.” In The Proud Tower, Barbara W. Tuchman brings the era to vivid life: the decline of the Edwardian aristocracy; the Anarchists of Europe and America; Germany and its self-depicted hero, Richard Strauss; Diaghilev’s Russian ballet and Stravinsky’s music; the Dreyfus Affair; the Peace Conferences in The Hague; and the enthusiasm and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized by the assassination of Jean Jaurès on the night the Great War began and an epoch came to a close.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
