A book giving an intimate biographical sketch of the man whose genius may be said to have saved France and Europe at a critical moment; containing a full and clear _expose_ of the theory and practice of strategy, based on Marshal Foch"s own books, and on his operations in the present war. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this book, written in a graphic and delightful style, by this well-known expert on military matters and history, the man who was present throughout Kitchener"s Soudan Campaign.
