4.0 out of 5 stars A good review of why the Germans collasped in 1918., March 19, 2010

This review is from: The Enemy's House Divided (Hardcover)
I always thought of DeGaulle as a military and political leader, but this book puts him in a whole different light. He was very much the thinker, and one thing that stands out about this analysis is that it is right on the mark. He describes why the Germans lost their motivation in 1918 to fight on. They showed endurance during the first three years, but at the end the military and political leaders fought each other. De Gaulle was a prisoner at the time, and he witnessed how his enemy captors fell out among themselves and made bad choices.

I think this is a very perceptive analysis on why the Germans lost the First World War. The translator's introduction was a damper on the reading but DeGaulle's writings are excellent and on the mark.
