- catalog abstract "It was on the battlefield of Verdun, just after the war, that author Woods was most deeply impressed by the evidences of horrific, needless slaughter. More than 700,000 men were killed or maimed there, with no real gain for either side. And this was but one of the many tragic blunders of the war. A search through the records showed that during the conflict hundreds of thousands of men were sacrificed, not for sound military reasons, but because of one piece of stupidity after another. In bringing forth these colossal blunders of America, Germany, the Allies, and Russia, Mr. Woods is not presenting propaganda. He is not urging militarism or armament. He is simply pointing out how lack of intelligence was the cause of hideous loss of life. Leading American generals and the War Department at Washington patriotically gave their assistance in laying bare our errors in order to prevent such disasters in the future. The chapters devoted to other countries are founded on equally indisputable sources.--Book jacket.".
