The Two Marshals; Bazaine And Petain
France: First Edn.384pp + End Paper Maps. Faded Spine With Sm. Defect. V. Good.this Book Is More Than The Story Of Two French Soldiers, Although That Story Is Worth Telling By Reason Of The Strange Inversion Of Their Two Careers. For One Of Them Surrendered Metz In 1870 And Was Sentenced To Death, While The Other Surrendered France In 1940 And Was Sentenced To Become Its Ruler. The First Marshal Was Made A Scapegoat By His Defeated Country; And When The Second Marshal Came To Power, The Scapegoat Was France. But As The First Of Them Was Born A Year Before The Grande Armee Marched To Moscow, When Napoleon Was At The Zenith, Their Two Careers Follow The Whole Curve Of French Military Power From The Height Of The First Empire To The Depth Of Vichy; And The Two Life-stories United To Form One Unbroken Picture Of The French Army For A Hundred Years.~ Bazaine Joined The French Foreign Legion In 1832 And Chapter I Is Entitled "foreign Legion"
