Excerpt from Marshal Ferdinand Foch: His Life and His Theory, of Modern WarAt the outset of the war he held a subordinate com mand. From its first days his rise to fame began. He showed himself a trusty leader of men alike in the days of trial and disaster and in those of hard won success. Indeed the highest tribute to his character and his qual ities as a war leader is the fact that, again and again, it was at moments when the outlook for France seemed darkest that he was called upon to take control of im portant operations and that finally it was when disaster threatened the whole Allied cause on the Western Front that all the Allied Nations joined in committing their fortunes to his strong hands, and entrusting their fu ture to his guidance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
