![A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century | [Barbara W. Tuchman]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mHpslJWzL._SL175_.jpg)
"A great book..."
Politics and war, but also daily life and the short sightedness of human ambition are brought to life in this excellent narrative of events in the 14th century. A pleasure to listen to the reading (I had the feeling the Queen of England was readig it to me). It makes you think of the stupidity and crazyness of the war in our 21st century. The bright pictures in this distant mirror helped me to reconcile myself with the darker side of our own times. And I met and lost a friend I never met....Angerand de Cousy, a bright and valliant man in this spectaculair cenury!
