Description: From the dust cover:

The author has recently returned to England from France, where he has been living since the outbreak of war. He was a pupil at the École des Beaux Arts, Paris, and has lived more than half his life in France, for which country he has a profound admiration and affection. His account of France’s military collapse, of her temporary loss of faith and of the recovery of her soul, is simple and convincing.

In the last war, he was alternately infantryman, sniper and staff-officer : he was closely associated with his chief, Sir Douglas Haig, in all those difficulties of liaison with the French which, in the spring of 1918, reached their climax at the famous Conference of Doullens.

For the first time we get a real portrait of Philippe Pétain and can see how he stands in comparison with Foch. As Hamlet says to his mother. : “Look here, upon this picture, and on this.”
Notes: This edition is dated 1943 - but in every respect appears to be a first edition.
