Paul Jankowski offers a fresh look at Verdun, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the First World War. A leading expert on the French past, Jankowski combines the best of traditional military history - its emphasis on leaders, plans, technology, and the contingency of combat - with the newer social and cultural approach, stressing the soldier's experience, the institutional structures of the military, and the impact of war on national memory.
