Ferdinand Foch ended the First World War as Marshal of France and
supreme commander of the Allied armies on the Western Front. Foch
in Command is a pioneering study of his contribution to the Allied
victory. Elizabeth Greenhalgh uses contemporary notebooks, letters
and documents from previously under-studied archives to chart how
the artillery officer, who had never commanded troops in battle
when the war began, learned to fight the enemy, to cope with
difficult colleagues and Allies, and to manoeuvre through the
political minefield of civil-military relations. She offers
valuable insights into neglected questions: the contribution of
unified command to the Allied victory; the role of a commander's
general staff; and the mechanisms of command at corps and army
level. She demonstrates how an energetic Foch developed war-winning
strategies for a modern industrial war, and how political realities
contributed to his losing the peace.
