Interesting. I found Tuchman's allegation that the escape of the Breslau was the single most important event in 20th century history to be compelling. I may have to read this.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. When I get off my current fiction kick (I tend to go back and forth in long stretches of only reading fiction or non-fiction; I don't know why I do that), I plan to read his A Peace to End All Peace, which also might interest you, because the subject matter is the creation of the modern Middle East, a subject that you appear to have read at some length about.
interested third party here I did some googling and couldn't find a satisfying answer to what Breslau as an event means. Was it the siege of Breslau in 1914? Was it the name of a ship that Tuchman witnessed as a two year old?
