The Battle of Verdun: Immense Destruction and Dead For Absolutely Nothing*Warfare History Network* *History, * The Battle of Verdun backfired on German strategists. *Key Point: *Verdun and the other battles of World War I had sapped the French nation—morally, physically, materially. Operation *Gericht*—German for “judgment” or “tribunal”—was the brainchild of Erich von Falkenhayn, chief of the German general staff as the year 1915 was coming to a close. Descended from a long line of Prussian military men, he was a cold, rational, distant man.

Can Turkish-American Relations be Salvaged?*Ali Demirdas* *Turkey, Middle East* A thorough analysis of Turkish-American relations reveals that both countries behave differently within the NATO alliance than when they are left to themselves.
