ARTHUR CONTE, EDITIONS SUCCES DU LIVRE, Legal Deposit August 2008. Verdun, October 24, 1916; the Fort of Douaumont is recaptured by the French army eight months into the greatest battle in history. Arthur Conte vividly recounts this day of mud, blood, and heroism hour by hour, alongside soldiers and leaders from both sides including Pétain, Mangin, Nivelle, Joffre, the Kronprinz, Hindenburg, and Ludendorff. The book also reflects on global events of the day: what were Pope Benedict XV, King George V, and others doing? What were Parisians eating? What were newspapers reporting? Which plays were showing? What horses were racing at Vincennes? With a narrative that is at once novelistic, journalistic, and biographical, Conte paints an unforgettable tableau of this crucial day in 20th-century history. FORMAT 23 x 14.5 cm - 445 pages.Related Products
