Battle of Verdun: A History from Beginning to End

Both sides made mistakes in the longest battle fought in the First World War. General Falkenhayn’s attitude was perhaps just as astonishing as the death toll; deliberately opting for a battle plan that would slowly grind the French down, his hubris meant he overlooked the possibility of the Germans being dragged into an unwinnable situation. In this book, you will read about Falkenhayn and the deplorable conditions he put the French and his own men through for the Battle of Verdun—a battle he knew the French could not resist.
