Ferdinand Foch, Raymond Recouly, Joyce Davis (translator)

Rate this book

Foch's own words on many subjects which have become historical controversies. One of the most important is his appointment to the high command in the teeth of the opposition offered by Clemenceau. It will be a relief to the public to learn the truth of this matter, over which a great deal of ink has been spilt and reams of paper ineffectually covered. There is also, among the numerous matters discussed, the true history of Foch's encounter, with Clemenceau again, over the efforts of the American Army in France, from which, once more, the great military leader emerged victorious. This book sums up all the other books about Foch and adjusts points of discussion. It not only portrays the late Marshal, but also preserves his actual words at historical moments, and enshrines his achievements in the greatest war of all time.
