Soon after the Armistice, Michelin issued illustrated guides to lead visitors over the battlefields. This volume explains the history of Verdun, the fighting of 1914, the long struggle in the Argonne forest, the great German offensive of 1916 and the French counter-attacks, with itineraries over the ground including Fort Douaumont and the sector toward Metz.
A haunting document of the first battlefield tourism, written while the scars were fresh. Download the free EPUB.
