Strategy and Command: The Anglo-french Coalition on the Western Front, 1914
Roy Prete demonstrates comprehensively and convincingly that Anglo-French cooperation in 1914 succeeded so well because of the exigencies of the situation and the common sense of the generals involved. Strategy and Command is an academic tour de force, serving as a model for any study ofalliance relationships, and sure to be widely cited in diplomatic / military literature --Dennis Showalter, Colorado College
