The Enemy's House Divided
Originally published in 1924 and available here in English for the first time, The Enemy's House Divided is Charles de Gaulle's analysis of the major errors that led the Germans to disaster in World War I.

Drawing on new historical evidence of the specific circumstances surrounding French, Germa...
