"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.
