The book’s descriptive analysis of the German offensive into northern France helped win Tuchman the Pulitzer Prize in 1963. This work is a detailed account of the first month of World War I, and it vividly describes the series of military errors and miscalculations that led to the ensuing stalemate of trench warfare. In 1962 Tuchman’s The Guns of August (also published as August 1914) was published to widespread critical and popular acclaim. She first achieved some recognition with The Zimmermann Telegram (1958), a detailed study of the telegram that Germany sent to Mexico during World War I promising parts of the American Southwest to the Mexican government if the latter would enter the war on Germany’s side. The result was Bible and Sword England and Palestine from the Bronze Age to Balfour (1956), a study of the historical background leading up to the Balfour Declaration. Tuchman had had one book, The Lost British Policy: Britain and Spain Since 1700 (1938), published before her marriage, but it was not until her children were partly grown that she could once again devote herself to historical research.
