- The_Proud_Tower abstract "The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914 is a 1966 book by Barbara Tuchman, consisting of a collection essays she had published in various periodicals during the mid-1960s. It followed the publication of the highly successful The Guns of August. Each chapter deals with a different country, theme, and time (although all relate to the approximately 25 years preceding World War I). The first and last chapters are about British government in 1890 and 1910, respectively; one chapter is dedicated to the Dreyfus Affair in France; and another is nominally about the Wilhelmine politics of late 19th-century Germany, but is really about German music and culture in that period. Other chapters cover the United States (particularly the efforts of Thomas Reed, Speaker of the House, to overcome the tyranny of the absent quorum), the Hague Conferences of 1899 and 1907 and the activities of the Socialist International and trade unions.The title of the book is derived from the 1845 Edgar Allan Poe poem "The City in the Sea". Two lines of the poem are used as the epigraph for the book: "While from a proud tower in the town/ Death looks gigantically down."".
