Los cañones de agosto

In August 1914, the history of mankind changed its course. After a long period of deceptive calm, that summer month the cannons thundered across Europe and the Great War began. With the outbreak of the conflict, there was no turning back: an abyss opened between a world that was dying and another that would mark the future of the troubled 20th century. Thanks to an incredible research work and an amazing narrative capacity, Barbara W. Tuchman gave birth to the best book on the First World War -and one of the most renowned non-fiction Pulitzers-, essential to understand the world that opened 100 years ago with the end of the conflict.
