add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Foch Speaks," by Charles Bugnet. The book offers a brief sketch of Ferdinand Foch's, commander in chief of allied forces career previous to the World War, while in the third the author takes him on an imaginary tour of the war area as a device for recording his comments upon campaigns and leaders and his general conclusions about the great struggle. The most interesting parts of this latter section are those in which Foch explains the circumstances which led to his selection for the supreme command, and the references to his intimate friendship with General Weygand.
