Images, Iconoclasm, and the Carolingians Book

Very easy to read book on the french army in world war 1. While I wasn' t terribly impressed with the historical accounts of each years manouvers the chapters for 1916,17 &18 are followed by chapters on the morale, strategy, tactics and equipment at that time and these are excellent. I also really enjoyed the opening chapter which explained the tactics and strategy employed by the french at the beginning of the war along with their equipment (red trousers) and how it had been affected by politics and even religion in the government and high command. Chapter 11 where he discusses the aftermath of the war particularly its effect on the french conduct of World War 2 was also quite interesting.
