Reviews

An insightful book that adds considerably to our understanding of the Great War and the significance of the Franco-American friendship. Bruce reminds us that neither the French nor the Americans could have succeeded in that war without the assistance of the other. Robert Doughty, author of Seeds of Disaster: Development of French Army Doctrine, 1919-1939; ""Engagingly written, Bruce's study covers a lot of ground and presents a convincing thesis. His analysis of the crucial Franco-American military relationship should lead to a more complete and more sophisticated understanding of the ending of the war."" Leonard V. Smith, coauthor of France and the Great War, 1914-1918
