The Making of a Modern Army
And Its Operations in the Field
A Study Based on the Experience of
Three Years on the French Front
1914–1917
René Radiguet
Général de Division, Army of France
Translated by
Henry P. du Bellet
Formerly American Consul at Rheims
Illustrated

The younger Americans who are now in training for active service in the field, and particularly those who have secured commissions as officers or who are preparing to compete for such commissions, will have a very direct interest in the instructions and suggestions presented by General Radiguet in regard to the organization of an army and the method of its operations in the field. General Radiguet’s treatise is based upon a varied experience in the campaigns of the present war.

The old text-books must be put to one side. The methods of organization and the methods of fighting have alike changed. It is only those who have had responsibilities as leaders in the present war whose instructions can be accepted as authoritative.
