Product Description
Among contemporary historians Barbara Tuchman stands supreme. - The Times Few historians, if any, write as well as Barbara Tuchman. - J H Plumb Admirers of her earlier works will find Barbara Tuchman's familiar virtues on display.

Product Description
From the distinguished American historian whose work has been acclaimed around the world, a major new book that penetrates one of the most bizarre and fascinating paradoxes in history: the persistent pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own intersts. Across the march of thirty centuries, Tuchman brings to life the dramatic events which constitute folly's hallmark in government; the fall of Troy, symbolic prototype of freely chosen disaster; the Protestant secession, provoked by six decades of spectacularly corrupt papcy; the British forfeiture of the American colonies; and America's catastrophic thirty year involvement with vietnam.
