Description
World War I from the French point of view: the first ever account in EnglishAnthony Clayton is an acknowledged expert on the French military and his book is a major contribution to the study and understanding of the First World War.
He reveals why and how the French army fought as it did.
He profiles its senior commanders - Joffre, Petain, Nivelle and Foch - and analyses its major campaigns both on the Western Front and in the Near East and Africa.
PATHS OF GLORY also considers in detail the officers, how they kept their trenches and how men from very different areas of France fought and died together.
He scrutinises the make-up and performance of France's large colonial armies and investigates the mutinies of 1917.
Ultimately, he reveals how the traumatic French experience of the 1914-18 war indelibly shaped a nation.
