Tuchman brings the era to vivid the decline of the Edwardian aristocracy; the Anarchists of Europe and America; Germany and its self-depicted hero, Richard Strauss; Diaghilev’s Russian ballet and Stravinsky’s music; the Dreyfus Affair; the Peace Conferences in The Hague; and the enthusiasm and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized by the assassination of Jean Jaurès on the night the Great War began and an epoch came to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bantam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968030830645,"sku":"ByrdShop_0553234560","price":59.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780553234565_8bf31869-57e8-42f5-8d7c-3a76427be1b3.jpg?v=1778927186","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/proud-tower-9780553234565","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
