A Distant Mirror

the Calamitous 14th Century
Jan 16, 2013EleventyOne rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Of the 100 or so histories I've read in my life, on any topic, I would put this one in the top 3 or 4. The story of the 14th century in Europe is incredibly compelling, and relatively unknown. Barbara Tuchman does a masterful job of relaying it, partially using a specific French/English nobleman and his comings and goings and war travels, to focus it. Thank you Ms. Tuchman!
