From time immemorial it has played an important part in resisting invasion, as _witness its fortified camp and citadel. Since '1870 it has been the centre of an essential position form'ed by a rough hemi-cycle of hills and slopes bristling with defensive works and batteries. Since the year 450, when Attila left it like a field ravaged by wild beasts, it has been besieged at least ten times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verdun, Argonne-Metz: 1914-1918 Verdun, one of France's most ancient cities, was first a Gallic, then under the name of Virodunum Castrum, a Roman fortress. In 843 Die celebrated treaty which divided the Carolingian Empire and annexed Verdun to the Kingdom of Lorraine was signed there. From 870 to 879 Verdun became part of France, but in 923 it was incorporated in the German Empire. As a county, it was governed under the feudal system by the hereditary counts, the last of whom was Godefroy de Bouillon, and later by the episcopal counts and bishops. In the 10th century, Bishop Haimont, of Verdun, persuaded the Count of Verdun to transfer his rights to him. The arrangement was confirmed by Emperor Othon III, but the count's heirs disputed the bishops' title to the town. Later, the burgesses revolted against the authority of the bishops, and after a sanguinary struggle succeeded in throwing off their yoke about I he middle of the 13th century. After a long occupation by the Germans, Henri II, King of France, retook Verdun in 1552 and granted it privileges which were confirmed by Francois II in 1559. During the Religious Wars, the town was for the Leaguers, and only agreed to receive Henry IV's envoy, after that prince's conversion to the Roman Faith. The burgesses did not take the oath of allegiance to the King of France until 1601. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The youthful mind grows through asking questions, and all parents with a sense of their responsibilities do their best to answer them. During the progress of the Great War I was called upon on numberless occasions to explain to my youngsters what it was all about, and my efiorts in this direction seemed so satis factory to my own children that I am emboldened to put them in the form of a book, in the hope that they may prove equally so to the children of other parents not so fortunately situated as I have been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great War, 1914-1918: A Brief Sketch There may even be a new war with the old enemy, reborn from the agonies of hapless Russia and in alliance with her worst elements, and such a war would undoubtedly rob us of some of the fruits of our recent victory. But it can never, and nothing can ever, rob us of the deeds which Britain and France have done in the war that began in 1914. That war (the war it must ever be to us old people, some of whom lost in it all that made life worth living) is over. It ended on November 11, 1918. I grant that it ended, as the-months that have since elapsed have proved, a little too soon. It was a pity that Marshal Foch was not allowed to have his battle, ' that the armistice was granted before the southern arm of his giant pincers could close upon the Rhine from Lorraine, and before Germany had been made to suffer at least some fraction of what her insensate arrogance and cruelty made the rest of Europe suffer. But with that also I am not concerned it is not within the sphere of operations which I planned for this little book.

Book excerpt: Amongst the place names that have become legendary as the sites of horrific battles, the Battle of Verdun during the First World War stands as one of history's greatest clashes. From February to December 1916, the German and Allied Forces battled for control of this small French city, with causalities of over 800,000 men and a devastating effect of both sides. It was one of the most complex battles of WW1, and John Mosier claims, the most misunderstood. Revisionist historian Mosier proposes a new view of the battle and examines eyewitness accounts and sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Blue Devil of France: Epic Figures and Stories of the Great War, 1914-1918 This volume contains an ensemble of true episodes about the French poilu taken from my diary. The reader will regret, perhaps, the absence of continuity in the following chapters; that will rapidly disappear, however, when he sees the characteristic figures he should better know and love for a long time to come. A scruple has always guided me: to write the truth. I have been strict in writing nothing but what I have seen or heard. In giving these souvenirs to the American public, I have had but one object: to mold in relief the warlike virtues of the admirable soldiers of France with whom I have fought for more than three years. Mothers, wives, sweethearts and children of the heroes fallen in defense of their country, will find in these pages a precious consolation: they will see that with just reason they can be proud of their cherished dead. I ask indulgence, much indulgence of the public. I have written these lines simply and faithfully during a long and painful convalescence; many times I have felt that my physical forces would abandon me before I could arrive at the end of my task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verdun to the Vosges: Impressions of the War on the Fortress Frontier of France It is a fact that not only the Germanophil but the Francophil Swiss were genuinely and deeply astonished when they learnt - from the official communique? That we intended to intervene in the war because the soil of Belgium had been invaded. When the thing was done they accepted it as a fact. They were bound to. But they did not anticipate it. They found it hard to believe that with an army, as they thought and they were not so far wrong - of only men, with nothing to gain and everything to lose, we would be so quixotic as to throw ourselves into a contest in which we were not directly concerned, and to send our contemptible little army (even smaller than their own) to fight in a foreign country the battles of another state against the overpowering military might of Germany. It is also a fact - and to me a still more astounding revelation - that a month after the war had begun there were people in France, and among them soldiers of high standing, who were honestly surprised at what we had already done in the war, as well as profoundly grateful, and who even then honestly doubted whether we really meant to put our backs into it to any purpose.

Book excerpt: The battle of Verdun lasted ten months. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its aim was less to defeat the enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is even now a haunted wilderness. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there. It shows that Verdun is a key to understanding the First World War to the minds of those who waged it, the traditions that bound them and the world that gave them the opportunity.
