A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman

2.0

---

Got about halfway through, and stopped because it seemed like it was going to offer more of the same: painstaking detail on the chronology of events and who's who in mid-to-late 14th century France and England. Was hoping for something of a point or argument, but I couldn't find it. I guess my interest in this particular part of history was not enough to carry me through this book.
