| Summary | "Verdun, Argonne-Metz, 1914-1918" by Pneu Michelin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significant military events surrounding the battles of Verdun and Argonne during World War I, emphasizing the brutal reality of warfare between nations and the historical implications of these battles on France and Germany. The text likely serves as both a tribute to the fallen soldiers and a comprehensive guide to the battlefields. The opening of the book features a detailed introduction to Verdun, outlining its historical background, geographical significance, and military relevance. It describes Verdun as a fortified town with a rich history, detailing various sieges and battles it endured, particularly during the war years from 1914 to 1918. The narrative stresses the immense human cost of the conflict, with specific mention of the establishment of a memorial fund for the defenders. Key military actions during the battles are introduced, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of the combat strategies and heroic efforts of the defenders, foreshadowing the dramatic accounts of bravery and sacrifice that will follow in later chapters.
