Name

Pershing Lecture Series: An Enigma in Red Stripes and Gold Braid

Description

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.
