| Beschreibung: | "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"-- Provided by publisher. -- "On 7 August 1918 the president of the French Republic raised General Ferdinand Foch to the dignity of marshal of France. Foch had reached the pinnacle of his military career. Less than five months earlier, on 26 March 1918, he had been chosen by unanimous consent of the British and French military and political leaders to be generalissimo of the Allied armies on the Western Front. To undertake the terrible responsibility thrust on him Foch would be required to draw on all he had learnt as a soldier in the prewar period and to reflect on his performance as a commander since August 1914. This book is a study of Foch's command in the positions that he occupied during the war; its aim is to examine how Foch's ideas evolved as he moved along the path that led to the supreme command. As Foch himself wrote: One does what one can to apply what one knows"-- Provided by publisher. Includes bibliographical references |

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"-- Provided by publisher. -- "On 7 August 1918 the president of the French Republic raised General Ferdinand Foch to the dignity of marshal of France. Foch had reached the pinnacle of his military career. Less than five months earlier, on 26 March 1918, he had been chosen by unanimous consent of the British and French military and political leaders to be generalissimo of the Allied armies on the Western Front. To undertake the terrible responsibility thrust on him Foch would be required to draw on all he had learnt as a soldier in the prewar period and to reflect on his performance as a commander since August 1914. This book is a study of Foch's command in the positions that he occupied during the war; its aim is to examine how Foch's ideas evolved as he moved along the path that led to the supreme command. As Foch himself wrote: One does what one can to apply what one knows"-- Provided by publisher. Includes bibliographical references pt. 1.
