520 1 $a"As the driving force behind the Allied effort in World War I, France willingly shouldered the heaviest burden. In this book, Robert Doughty explains how and why France assumed this role and offers new insights into French strategy and operational methods." "Using extensive archival research, Doughty explains why France pursued a multi-front strategy and why it launched numerous operations as part of that strategy. He also casts new light on France's efforts to develop successful weapons and methods and the attempts to use them in operations."--BOOK JACKET.
