About This Item
New York: NAL Caliber. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2013. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0451414624 . As new; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped, B&W photographs.; 9.1 X 6.2 X 1.4 inches; 400 pages; "Conventional wisdom holds that the battle began in February 1916 and lasted until December, when the victorious French wrested all the territory they had lost back from the Germans. In fact, says historian John Mosier, from the very beginning of the war until the armistice in 1918, no fewer than eight distinct battles were waged for the possession of Verdun. These conflicts are largely unknown, even in France, owing to the obsessive secrecy of the French high command and its energetic propaganda campaign to fool the world into thinking that the war on the Western Front was a steady series of German checks and defeats. Although British historians have always seen Verdun as a one-year battle designed by the German chief of staff to bleed France white, Mosiers careful analysis of the German plans reveals a much more abstract and theoretical approach." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
