Barbara Tuchman was born in New York City on this day in 1912. She died in 1989.
She wrote several books such as "The march of folly" that I read in the 1980's. However, it was ''The Guns of August,'' a book about World War I, that made her famous. It was about the background and events that led the world to war in 1914.
