What is the author's style in A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman?

"The Distant Mirror" is written in third person from an omniscient perspective, the only possible option for this book. The writing is fairly straightforward though the content is often confusing simply because of the amount of information packed into the pages. The book is apparently historically accurate which means a reader who has trouble understanding particular passages has the option to search for information from other sources.
