About This Novel

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Barbara Tuchman brilliantly illustrates the formation and outbreak of the crisis in August 1914 and the early battles of the war through vivid historical scene restoration, rich details and solid historical data support. Shortly after the publication of this book, the "Cuban Missile Crisis" occurred, which almost triggered a nuclear war. It was from this book that the then US President Kennedy learned historical lessons, which enabled the United States and the Soviet Union to resolve the crisis peacefully. These historical lessons are still of profound instructive significance to today's world.
