During World War One the French Army was in a state of disarray, plagued by indiscipline, mutinies and desertion.
The ordinary French citizens that were called upon to defend their motherland – the Poilu – were disrespected and demoralized, and the infamous mutinies of 1917 by the Poilu were not protests against the war itself, but against how the war was conducted. Ian Sumner expertly charts the history of the Poilu, from the conscription of hundreds of thousands of men, through their training, to the horrors of the trenches and the fear of no man''s land.
Accompanied by new artwork and diagrams, this book provides a fascinating insight into the experiences of the ordinary Frenchman plunged into war.
