Notes
Translated, Annotated, and with a Written Introduction by Robert Eden. This book was originally published in French in 1924. This particular edition was the first English translation. It is de Gaulle's analysis of the major errors which led the Germans to disaster in the war. It was based partly on observations made during de Gaulle's time as a POW from 1916 to 1918. It can be seen as the foundation for everything he wrote in the between the wars period, in the shadow of German resurgence; and for much of what he said and did after the Nazi victory in June 1940.
