The author looks at early 20th-century French General Ferdinand Foch, noting that he is celebrated in Great Britain as the officer who led the Allied forces to victory in the Western Front in World War I and expressing the view that his history and record as a military leader are more complicated than is widely understood. Topics include his military career prior to World War I, his book "On the Principles of War," and his views on the Treaty of Versailles.
