N2  - De Gaulle called it a 'fatal avenue' - that broad sweep of low-lying country stretching north east of Paris. The names of battles fought here read like a dictionary of military history. This book is both a history and a guide of a region that has witnessed more bitter military conflict than any other area of its size on earth
