About the Author:
Ian Sumner is a prolific writer and researcher who specializes in local and military history. He has made a particular study of the French army and air force during the First World War, his many books on the subject including The French Army 1914-18, French Poilu 1914-18, First Battle of the Marne 1914, They Shall Not Pass: The French Army on the Western Front 1914-1918, Kings of the Air: French Aces and Airmen of the Great War and The French Army at Verdun.
Review:
This is the sort of book you pick up and wish you had found it twenty years ago. The experience of the French Army during the Great Wa is still not very well covered in English and even less has been published on the indidivual thoughts and experiences of the roughly 8.5 million men who were eventually mobilized. For anyone who is interested in such of things and has wished for years that someone would write about them, this one is for you. Ian Sumner is to be applauded for this work, which is highly recommended. It is about time the stories of the millions of Frenchmen who fought in the First World War were told in an accessible English-language book, and thanks to this volume from Ian Sumner that is now the case for this book tells the history of the French Army and its battles mainly using countless translated snippets from the letters and journals of French soldiers never published before in English. An absolute must for any English-speaking students of the First World War looking to expand their understanding of the conflict beyond the narrow British view. - Experts Column Bruce Officer
