The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916 - Alistair Horne

>The Battle of Verdun was fought during World War I and lasted from February 21, 1916 until December 18, 1916. The longest and largest battle fought on the Western Front during the conflict, Verdun saw German forces attempt to gain the high ground around the city while drawing the French reserves into a battle of annihilation. Striking on February 21, the Germans made early gains until increasing French resistance and the arrival of reinforcements turned the battle into a grinding, bloody affair.

>Tempted to get his trilogy on French history.
I'm only familiar with his books pertaining to France and I think they are quite good. I generally enjoy his writing style and find him to be a capable storyteller.
