The battle of Verdun lasted ten months. It was a battle in which at least
700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its aim was less to defeat the
enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is
even now a haunted wilderness. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in
print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the
battle and the men who fought there. It shows that Verdun is a key to
understanding the First World War to the minds of those who waged it, the
traditions that bound them and the world that gave them the opportunity.
