I have a hard time with Tuchman, even in audio, I find myself falling asleep.

I failed to get through much of The Guns of August in book form in college, but finally zipped through it with Kindle a couple years ago. She manages to combine a dramatic style with a lot of dense minutia, which was somewhat distracting and mind-numbing from time to time. But overall I was surprised how much I took to it once I got going.
