A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman
dark
informative
slow-paced
4.0
This is very readable and mostly interesting, but it gets 4 stars mostly on the strength of its scope. A whole lot of ground (in a medium sized slice of Europe) is covered.
Key take away: the 14th century SUCKED.
