Description
DE GAULLE, Charles. Towards a Professional Army. Paris, Berger-Levrault, 1934. 12mo, half-leather bound First edition on ordinary paper. A seminal work in the military thought of Charles de Gaulle, then a lieutenant-colonel, in which he argues for the necessity of a professional and mechanised army. Long regarded as a prescient text, it occupies a major place in 20th-century French strategic and political history. A sought-after first edition, even in plain paper, due to the text’s significance and its place in Charles de Gaulle’s body of work. Fair condition: scuffing to the leather, worn edges and corners, a few passages underlined in pencil. Expert: Mr Geoffroi PICARD DU CHAMBON
