Grandeur And Misery Of Victory (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258216436)

""Grandeur and Misery of Victory"" is a historical account of the First World War, written by the French statesman and journalist Georges Clemenceau. The book is a collection of essays that were originally published in the French newspaper L'Homme Libre during the war and later compiled into a single volume. Clemenceau's writing provides a unique perspective on the war, as he was not only a journalist but also a key political figure in France at the time. He served as Prime Minister of France during the final year of the war and was a strong advocate for the Allies. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the war, including the political and military strategies of the Allies and Central Powers, the impact of the war on civilians, and the role of technology in modern warfare. Clemenceau also delves into the psychology of war and the human toll it takes on soldiers and civilians alike. Throughout the book, Clemenceau offers his own opinions and insights on the war, often with a critical eye towards the decisions made by Allied leaders. He is particularly critical of the Treaty of Versailles, which he believed did not go far enough in punishing Germany for its role in the war. Overall, ""Grandeur and Misery of Victory"" is a thought-provoking and insightful look at one of the most significant events in modern history, written by a man who lived through it and played a significant role in shaping its outcome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
