Verdun: The Longest Battle of the Great War

In the ten-month battle of Verdun, during World War I, the French and Germans had more casualties than the entire British Empire suffered during all of World War II.

The Germans’ declared strategy for winning the battle was not to assault and take the fortresses around Verdun, but to bleed the French white—to win by attrition. Join historian Paul Jankowski for a powerful, moving account of one of the most terrible battles of a terrible war.
