The proud tower: A portrait of the world before the war, 1890-1914

---

During the fateful quarter century leading up to World War I, the climax of a century of rapid, unprecedented change, a privileged few enjoyed luxury as the underclass was “heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate.”

In "The Proud Tower", Barbara W. Tuchman brings the era to vivid life: the decline of the Edwardian aristocracy, the Anarchists of Europe and America, Germany and its self-depicted hero, Richard Strauss; Diaghilev’s Russian ballet and Stravinskys music, the Dreyfus Affair, the Peace Conferences in The Hague, and the enthusiasm and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized by the assassination of Jean Jaures on the night the Great War began and an epoch came to a close.
