About this audiobook
The War of Attrition explores the year World War I became a brutal contest of endurance, industry, morale, and national survival. From the blood-soaked fields of Verdun and the Somme to the naval clash at Jutland and the dramatic Brusilov Offensive on the Eastern Front, this volume reveals how 1916 pushed armies and civilians to the edge of collapse.
This forth book goes beyond battlefield movements to show how modern war consumed entire societies. Soldiers faced artillery, mud, wire, tanks, and exhaustion, while civilians endured hunger, grief, shortages, propaganda, occupation, and the growing pressure of total war. By the end of 1916, no nation had achieved victory, but the balance had begun to shift. The Central Powers remained dangerous, yet Britain, France, Russia, and their allies were slowly changing the direction of the conflict through sacrifice, pressure, and endurance.
