Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Foch: An Appreciation
The subject-matter of the teaching of Foch at the Ecole de Guerre is technical and not easily appreciable or interesting for the general public. Yet it is impossible to pass over this aspect of his life without some sort Of notice. For he was the great teacher who, more than any man in the French Army, created the mode of thought under which its generals and Staff entered the present war; his portrait would be wholly inade quate unless this side Of the man were brought out. But there is no subject studied by groups of specialists in our present civilization that re quires more prolonged effort and on which more depends than that Of the military art in its higher branches. This being so, the reader must be asked to follow, though only in very broad out line, a statement of this somewhat special ques tion.
