French Generals of the Great War
Who were the senior generals who took France through the First World War, and why do we know so little about them? They commanded the largest force on the Western Front through both humiliating defeats and forgotten victories; they won international respect and adoration, but also led their army to infamous mutiny. Nevertheless, the French and their allies, under a French General in Chief, would eventually achieve final victory over Imperial Germany. It is extraordinary that this remarkable group of men has been so neglected in histories on the war. Previous studies are outdated and haven't tapped the wealth of primary source material in France's military archives. It is this gap in the literature and in the understanding of the conflict that this thought-provoking and original volume is designed to address. It takes a collective biographical approach to the leading French soldiers who ran the war on the Western Front.

Les Fantassins du Chemin des Dames
Parmi tous les livres évoquant « la Grande Guerre » avec un recul de cent ans, il en fallait un qui fût consacré aux fantassins du Chemin des Dames. Cette falaise du Soissonnais évoque surtout l'offensive du général Nivelle le 16 avril 1917, les espoirs qu'elle fit naître, puis l'abattement et les mutineries. Cette offensive prend place dans une suite de péripéties dont le Chemin des Dames fut en quelque sorte le champ clos, de septembre 1914 à octobre 1918. Sous la plume de R.-G. Nobécourt, tout ressurgit : les « grands chefs » - leurs doctrines, leurs ordres, leurs rapports, leurs humeurs -, les « hommes » surtout, et les chefs de section ainsi que les capitaines - leur vérité quotidienne, dans les tranchées, dans les cantonnements, avec leurs chansons et leurs peines, et pour beaucoup leur vingtième printemps. Les lettres mêmes des poilus, gardées, censurées ou résumées par le contrôle postal expriment ici, selon les saisons et les moments de la guerre, les chutes et les remontées du moral.
The Historiography of World War I from 1918 to the Present
From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.

Sont privilégiées les pratiques et les relations entre les hommes et leurs dieux dans différentes sociétés.
Diaries Real and Fictional in Twentieth-century French Writing
This volume is the first study of the diary in French writing across the twentieth century, as a genre which includes both fictional and non-fictional works. From the 1880s it became apparent to writers in France that their diariesa supposedly private form of writing would probably come to be published, strongly affecting the way their readers viewed their other published works, and their very persona as an author. More than any other, Andre Gide embraced the literary potential of the diary: the first part of this book follows his experimentation with the diary in the fictional works Les Cahiers d'Andre Walter (1891) and Paludes (1895), in his diary of the composition of his great novel, Le ...
