German Strategy and the Path to Verdun: Erich Von Falkenhayn and the Development of Attrition, 1870 1916 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521044363)

The term "Battle of Verdun" has become synonymous with senseless slaughter. This book offers a new perspective on one of the twentieth century's bloodiest battles by examining the development of German military ideas from the end of the Franco-German War in 1871 to the First World War. Its use of recently released German sources held in the Soviet Union since the Second World War sheds new light on German ideas about attrition before and during the First World War.
