History remembers Erich von Falkenhayn as an enigma. In the first year of the war, he realized attrition would have disastrous outcomes for the German Empire – and yet, with attrition he led the German military to victory at the “blood mill” of Verdun. Was he a visionary, or did he deserve to be vilified in Great War historiography?
Examine the legacy and controversy of Falkenhayn's leadership with Dr. Scott Stephenson.
