Description

Gain a new perspective on one of the most significant battles in history. German Strategy and the Path to Verdun offers a detailed examination of the seminal battle of Verdun, providing insights that remain relevant nearly 90 years after its conclusion. This work is built upon research conducted in archives previously thought lost to history. By utilizing material returned to Germany from the former Soviet Union, this book allows for a fresh reinterpretation of Erich von Falkenhayn's overall war strategy. It tracks the development of German operational and tactical concepts as they shifted to support a new strategy of attrition. Readers will follow the long-term development of German military ideas, starting from the end of the Franco-German War in 1871 through 1916. This academic study is part of the Cambridge Military Histories series, making it an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of modern warfare and the strategic decisions that shaped the early 20th century.
