Sobre este artículo
New York: Macmillan, 1930. Hardcover. Good. Just after World War I, the author saw for himself the evidence of carnage and destruction left behind on the battlefield at Verdun. This experience prompted him to ask why so many young men died for so little gain during that bloody conflict. He embarked on a quest to research and publish the answers to that question, revealing for the first time the full extent of military incompetence and sheer stupidity on all sides - American; British; French; German; and Russian. A somewhat controversial book when first published in 1930, it is now widely regarded as an insightful dissection of the military thinking of the time. Perhaps its greatest strength is that Woods managed to retain a degree of impartiality, concentrating on the facts, rather than indulging in an anti-war diatribe. Now fairly scarce, this is an important volume which deserves a place in every military academy or Great War historian's collection. Contains 274 pages, 21 x 13.5cm. Scarlett cloth boards; corners tight and unbumped; spine faded and lightly bumped at top and bottom; overall in Good condition. Internally, shows ink inscriptions on free front endpaper and ocassional light age stains within and to edges, otherwise in Good condition.
