Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page. Preview — Foch by B. Man of Orleans Vol 1 by B. The more tribute is due to him because he has not sought in any way to influence my judgment.
As he has refrained from imposing any conditions in return for his aid, it is all the more just that I should make it clear that he has no responsibility for the conclusions reached in this book. I realize that these conclusions may impair the popular con ception of Marshal Fochs achievement, if not of his spirit.
No one will regret such an effect more than I do. For it has been with reluctance that I have yielded my own original con ception in face of the facts laid bare by research into the history of the war. If I may appear critical, I can only say that I have kept my criticism on a tight rein while giving the facts free rein as true history requires.
Such criticisms as I make are implicit in the facts, which cannot be burked. And I have purposely restrained criticism because of a feeling that the indefinable effect of Fochs spirit may have endowed his actions with more effect than the facts convey. It is my strongest hopethat the book will in no sense be regarded as an attack on or exposure of Foch.

It certainly brings out his too absorbing devotion to the offensive in the theory and practice of war and the grave conse quences not only to France but to her allies. But, this ques tion apart, the book is really an analysis of the limitations which high command suffered under the conditions of the World War.

The effective influence of the higher commander was thwarted by the difficulty not only of knowing the facts of the situation but of knowing them in time to take action which fitted them before they had changed. As for my criticism of the offensive doctrine, it does not viii PREFACE exceed the way Marshal Foch himself castigates that too exclusive passion for the offensive and the useless repulses and cruel losses thereby caused My supplement has merely been to trace Marshal Fochs own influence in fostering that too exclusive passion which caused such useless repulses and cruel losses not only in , but later.
