The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914 by Barbara W. Tuchman

4.0

Very dense history, with lots of names, dates and places. Interesting but easy to get overwhelmed and wonder if you really needed to know this stuff.
I was really looking for a broader political picture to pre-WWI but this is more general knowledge of how the world was at the turn of the century.
Would have rated 3.5 star if possible. Not quite a 4 star book.
