    Excellent read. Tuchman’s analysis is sharp, and her prose is beautiful. A classic for a reason. Though a little long, it provides a clear picture of the conflict.

  2. Harshit –

    It was an alright book. I would not recommend it to my friends to read for their next book.

  3. Harshal Vasudeo More –

    A bit too detailed for my taste. I appreciate the research, but I found myself getting lost in the minutiae. Not my favorite, but still insightful.

    Important but dense. The information is valuable, but the writing style can be challenging. You might need time to enjoy it.

    I think it’s a great book. The description of the people that went into the start of the war is amazing.

    Tuchman’s writing is gripping! This book really brings the start of WWI to life. However, it can be a bit dense and slow in some sections. Overall, very insightful.

  11. Ishita Mishra –

    While informative, I found it a bit dry. The details are exhaustive, but I struggled to stay engaged throughout. Good if you like this kind of book about war.

  12. Vinit Yadav –

    A detailed account of the war’s beginning. Tuchman’s writing is engaging, but the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming at times. Still, a must-read for history buffs.

  13. Linu Jangid –

    A good book but has a lot of details that will make you sleepy. It has a great amount of information for you.

  14. Yash Arya –

    Best book I’ve ever read. A total classic and changed my view on world history. I would read it again.

  15. Oam Jagtap –

    Informative but a bit dry. It could be more interesting than it is. This book is for someone who likes the old ways.
