Tristan’s Reviews > Verdun: The Longest Battle of the Great War > Status Update

somewhat odd book because its written w a certain kind of grandeur and he uses words like Valiant with seemingly no irony but also is mostly about how the highly symbolic purported goals for Verdun promulgated by its protagonists on both sides after the war were not the actual ones, those apparently being really quite unremarkable & highly integrated small gears in an overall strategy.
