Book Reviews of The Guns of August
Book Review: A classic, highly readable World War history
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the finest, most readable, history books I have ever read. It was a revelation in 1962, it is still completely fascinating today.
The lessons of the beginning of World War I are worth learning today.
