War Of Attrition by William J. Philpott
Fighting the First World War
A sweeping study of the First World War that treats the conflict as a sustained struggle of resources, endurance and industrial power rather than a series of decisive manoeuvres; it traces how logistics, technology, political leadership and the demands of modern mass armies produced trench warfare, massive casualties and gradual tactical evolution, explores the experiences of soldiers and civilians on the home front, and argues that the war’s character as an attritional contest reshaped European societies, economies and state power long after the guns fell silent.
