Description
Charles de Gaulle's analysis of the major errors that led Germany to disaster in World War I is presented in this 2014 English translation of his 1924 work, The Enemy's House Divided. De Gaulle identifies the internecine causes of the collapse of the German war effort in 1918 and the subsequent dissolution of the German Empire as key factors in his critique of Germany's conduct during World War I. He argues that this moral crisis points forward to 1940, when France fell, a catastrophe he saw as having profound moral implications for the French people. This book is also an introduction to de Gaulle's philosophy of action and statesmanship, offering a deliberate and studied critique of the perils of Nietzsche's philosophical initiative.
