Description
[MILITARIA – SECOND EMPIRE] “The French Army in 1867” by General Trochu, Paris, Amyot, 1867, in-8, unbound volume, requiring binding.A controversial work at the time of its publication, but visionary in the wake of the war against Prussia in 1870. Trochu analysed the strengths of the Prussian army and the shortcomings—particularly organisational ones—of the French armies. He concluded: “In closing, I say to the French army: We have grown complacent, we have turned away from hard work, neglecting the efforts, research and comparisons that drive progress. Let us set to work with determination.”
