Synopsis
How France tried to steer war power
A rigorous study of how political leaders and military chiefs shaped France’s war effort during the First World War. It traces attempts to balance civilian direction with battlefield command, from early decrees to ongoing reforms, and shows how generals and ministers navigated authority, risk, and strategy in a time of crisis. This edition illuminates the disagreements, policy debates, and practical compromises that defined the High Command and its relationship with the government.
- Learn how the government claimed the political direction of the war while supervising military execution.
- See the evolving roles of leaders like Joffre, Briand, Lyautey, Painlevé, and Petain, and how their actions affected command structure.
- Understand the debates over the idea of a Generalissimo, a technical adviser, and the eventual creation of the Chief of the General Staff.
- Explore passages from secret proceedings and ministerial debates that reveal how decisions were made and contested.
