Book Description
For almost 90 years, the term battle of Verdun has been synonymous with senseless slaughter. By examining the development of German military ideas from the end of the Franco-German War in 1871 to the First World War, this book offers an unprecedented understanding of one of the bloodiest battles of the twentieth century. Dr Foley makes use of recently-released German sources that have been held in the Soviet Union since the Second World War to shed new light on German ideas about attrition before and during the First World War.
