Download or read book Three Marshals of France written by Anthony Clayton and published by Brassey's. This book was released on 1992 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Three Marshals of France is a biography of Alphonse Juin, Jean de Lattre de Tassigny and Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque--three outstanding French commanders all created Marshal by the Fourth Republic after successful campaigns in the Second World War and important commands in the post-war years." "Set against the backdrop of a fragile empire stretching from the Maghreb to Indochina, it is also the history of a whole generation of Frenchmen traumatised by the debacle of May-June 1940 and divided by allegiance to Petain or de Gaulle. Anthony Clayton's examination of the passion displayed in the Marshals highlights the tensions and divisions of a nation during these troubled years, providing at the same time a captivating story of three truly charismatic men." "Each a special mixture of Cartesian rationality, firm Christian beliefs and volatile emotions, their complex characters at times proved unfathomable to the Allied commanders who fought alongside them. Yet their reckless courage and great generosity endeared them both to their fellow generals and the men in their command." "These powerful personalities do not, however, in any way dilute what is also an illuminating study of the general's art. All three, to some extent, followed Marshal Lyautey's philosophy that the officer's role extended beyond simple tactical ability to much wider social and national responsibilities for the moral and physical welfare of the troops below him; all three followed Foch's closely reasoned and pragmatic approach to problem solving with its emphasis on imagination." "A welcome corrective to the Anglo-American bias that has played down the contribution of the French forces in the Second World War, Three Marshals of France is a compelling tale of three remarkable men and their pivotal role in the rebirth of a nation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis The Two Marshals: Bazaine & Pétain by : Philip Guedalla
Download or read book The Two Marshals: Bazaine & Pétain written by Philip Guedalla and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant study of France and French military power through four generations. The careers of the two Marshalls span the years from Napoleon’s downfall to Verdun and Vichy France. “This biography of two soldiers of France is, in effect, a history of the French Army for a hundred years, as well as portraiture of marked differences and striking contrasts. There are strong touches of irony and emphasis in Bazaine’s life and army career, his strength, and innocence in face of public blame following the surrender at Metz in 1870 — and Pétain’s, whose weakness and mediocrity contrast baldly with his predecessor. “The first Marshal was made a scapegoat by his defeated country, and when the second Marshal came to power, the scapegoat was France”. The elaborate sketching of background material, the bird’s eye views of each successive era in French history provide a three-dimensional setting for each man. Bazaine’s is a more thorough characterization, for Petain’s seems more often guesswork and speculation through lack of early factual material. However there is justice and judgement in this study of “the psychology of defeat” and Guedalla’s lively style and personal approach to his subjects is good reading.”-Kirkus Reviews

Book Synopsis Defeat and Division by : Douglas Porch
Download or read book Defeat and Division written by Douglas Porch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defeat and Division launches a definitive new account of France in the Second World War. In this first volume, Douglas Porch dissects France's 1940 collapse, the dynamics of occupation, and the rise of Charles de Gaulle's Free France crusade, culminating in the November 1942 Allied invasion of French North Africa. He captures the full sweep of France's wartime experience in Europe, Africa, and beyond, from soldiers and POWs to civilians-in-arms, colonial subjects, and foreign refugees. He recounts France's struggles to reconstruct military power within the context of a global conflict, with its armed forces shattered into warring factions and the country under Axis occupation. Disagreements over the causes of the 1940 debacle and the subsequent requirement for the armistice mirrored long-standing fractures in politics, society, and the French military itself, as efforts to reconstitute French military power crumbled into Vichy collaboration, De Gaulle's exile resistance, Alsace-Moselle occupation struggles, and a scuffle for imperial supremacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious survey draws together the two major wars of decolonization fought by France in Indochina and Algeria (as well as the lesser but far from insignificant military operations in Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco) into a single integrated account. It examines traditional French attitudes to empire, and how these changed under the pressure of events; the military operations themselves; the collapse of the Fourth Republic and the return of de Gaulle; and the final drama of French withdrawal from Algeria and the 'ethnic cleansing' of its European settler population.
