Author: TUCHMAN, BARBARA W
Pages: 576
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 interests.
Across the march of thirty centuries:
Barbara Tuchman brings to life the dramatic events which constitute folly's hallmark in government, including:
- The fall of Troy: A symbolic prototype of freely chosen disaster.
- The Protestant secession: Provoked by six decades of spectacularly corrupt papacy.
- The British forfeiture of the American colonies.
- America's catastrophic thirty-year involvement with Vietnam.
The March of Folly, a work of profound and poignant relevance today, is breathtaking in its scope, originality, and vision, and represents the writing of Barbara Tuchman at its finest.
