Book excerpt: The bitter fight for Fort Vaux is one of the most famous episodes in the Battle of Verdun—it has achieved almost legendary status in French military history. The heroic resistance put up by the forts commander, Major Raynal, and his small, isolated garrison in the face of repeated German assaults was remarkable at the time, and it is still seen as an outstanding example of gallantry and determination. But what really happened inside the besieged fort during the German attacks, and how can visitors to the Verdun battlefield get an insight into the extraordinary events that took place there almost a century ago? In this precise, accessible account, Christina Holstein, one of the leading authorities on the Verdun battlefield and its monuments, reconstructs the fight for the fort in graphic day-by-day detail. Readers get a vivid sense of the sequence of events, of the intense experience of the defenders and a wider understanding of the importance of Fort Vaux in the context of the German 1916 offensive.

Book excerpt: "Verdun..." Those two syllables that have already become historic ring out today like the brazen tones of a trumpet. Of the battle, of the victory of Verdun, here is a single episode: that of Fort Vaux, beleaguered for three months in March 1916 and lost for a brief space on June 7. The present work deals with the admirable defence of Fort Vaux from March 9 up to that dramatic moment. This defense gave the world an opportunity of gauging the stamina of those at the front and their powers of resistance. The novelist M. Henry Bordeaux was peculiarly entitled to write The Last Days of Fort Vaux. He followed the Battle of Verdun as a captain on the Staff and was mentioned in dispatches in the following terms: "An officer who under all circumstances has displayed the highest military qualities. He volunteered on March 9, 1916, to perform, in our first line, an exceptionally dangerous mission, and carried it out under a furious bombardment."
