WORLD WAR I CAMPAIGN HISTORIES

THE BATTLE OF VERDUN (FEBRUARY 21-MAY 7

By Henry Dugard

Illustrations: 25 photographs & 1 map

Pages: 118 pages

$19.95 soft cover

This work was written by a Frenchman shortly after the battle and represents a fine example of first hand accounts and pro-French/anti-German propaganda. As it is a wartime work, it was subjected to censoring. It provides, however, a most interesting glimpse into the French mindset of the time.

THE TURNING POINT: THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME

By Perry Robinson

Size: 8.5" x 11"

Illustrations: 15 photographs

Pages: 163 pages

$25.00 soft cover

Written in 1917, this is a most interesting British account that puts a very favorable spin on what was one of the bloodies battles in history. At no time does Robinson mention that 60,000 British soldiers died or were wounded in the first day of this multi-month battle. Otherwise, this work is most interesting because of its account of the first operational use of tanks in combat. Interesting work, but it must be read with caution, as it is wartime propaganda.
