"The Army of the Future" is a piece of history, written by Charles De Gaulle after the First World War, and shortly before the Second World War. In it he predicts how the war of the future against France will be conducted. De Gaulle foresaw the combined usage of armor, infantry, and artillery that the Nazi's used against France in their Blitzkrieg, but missed the crucial roll of air power during that conflict. It was interesting as a historian to look at what De Gaulle thought would happen, and compare it to what actually happened. It is also interesting to note that De Gaulle's troops were the only French units during the invasion that were able to put up any kind of resistance to the Nazi onslaught. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. First American edition of this fascinating book by General De Gaulle about his ideas for army modernization and mechanization, later used to create the Third Reich's Panzerdivision. Written just a few years before France was overrun by Nazi Germany, De Gaulle's The Army of the Future grapples with the possibility of Flanders and France being overrun by a superior professional, mechanized army. Though De Gaulle's work was obviously informed by the French experience during World War I, it nevertheless failed to motivate French leaders, instead finding many admirers inside of Germany who followed De Gaulle's plans for army modernization. Published one year after the first British edition. Book about-fine, with only slightest toning to pages and spine extremities. Dust jacket extremely good, with a bit of wear to extremities. A handsome copy.
