This is a comprehensive new history of the French Army's critical
contribution to the Great War. Ranging across all fronts, Elizabeth
Greenhalgh examines the French Army's achievements and failures and
sets these in the context of the difficulties of coalition warfare
and the relative strengths and weaknesses of the enemy forces it
faced. Drawing from new archival sources, she reveals the
challenges of dealing with and replenishing a mass conscript army
in the face of slaughter on an unprecedented scale, and shows how,
through trials and defeats, French generals and their troops
learned to adapt and develop techniques which eventually led to
victory. In a unique account of the largest Allied army on the
Western Front, she revises our understanding not only of wartime
strategy and combat, but also of other crucial aspects of France's
war, from mutinies and mail censorship to medical services,
railways and weapons development.
