A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century
History
Tuchman tracks the 14th century through the life of a single French knight — plague, papal schism, peasant revolts, and military catastrophe — and makes it feel as immediate as journalism. Graham included it among his obscure favorites for its proof that narrative history can be as revealing as analytical history and far more readable.
