A Distant Mirror by Barbara W. Tuchman

3.0

Published in the late 70’s, this book is cited from time to time as a history recommendation. While I appreciated this book, I found myself stymied by the audio version as the narrator is one of my least favorite voice readers: the high pitched and heavily accented speaker is really difficult to understand at times spoiling what would otherwise have been a much better experience. In spite of that I would still like to read Tuchman’s WWI account and just hope it’s not the same voice narrator.
