A history of the battle of Verdun in ww1. Although not well known in the commonwealth this battle was one of the most important for the French. A surprise German offensive nearly captured the city of Verdun and for months following both sides contested for control of the strategically important city and surrounding fortresses. Although ultimately a French victory the battle bled the French army white and lead to the mutinies of 1917.
