This is a comprehensive new history of the French army’s critical contribution to the Great War. It examines the French army’s achievements and failures and sets these in the context of the difficulties of coalition warfare and the relative strengths and weaknesses of the enemy forces it faced. In a unique manner, this book revises our understanding not only of wartime strategy and combat, but also of other crucial aspects of France’s war, from mutinies and mail censorship to medical services, railways and weapons development. |
