   @bmacDonald94 Barbara Tuchman is a genius history communicator (and I presume an excellent historian). Her book “A Distant Mirror: the Calamitous Fourteenth Century” had some fascinating insights into recurring historical themes.

     @bmacDonald94 I haven’t read all by her, but I own that one, and have borrowed others from the library. I haven’t read the one you’re quoting, though, and now I very much want to! 👏🏼
