- catalog abstract ""In the first full history of the French army of World War I to be written in English, Anthony Clayton investigates how France prepared for 1914 and how her army adjusted to the grim realities of warfare on the western front. He takes particular interest in the soldiers' morale: how, despite appalling losses and dreadful privations, the ordinary soldiers fought on until 1917 when widespread mutinies paralysed the army. It fell to two remarkable soldiers, Marshals Petain and Foch, to restore the soldiers' faith and lead them to victory in 1918"--Jacket.".
