What reading level is Foch the Man a Life of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Armies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The generals in the highest com- mands not only had to yield precedence to the prefects of the provinces (like our governors of states), but were subject to removal if the prefects did not like their politics and the THE SUPERIOR SCHOOL OF WAR 71 Minister of War wished the support of the prefects.
Even the superior war council of the nation might be politically made up, to pay the War Minister's scores rather than to protect the country.
All this can happen to a people lulled by a false sense o...f security even to a people which has had to defend itself against the savage rapacity of its neighbors across the Rhine for two thousand years!
It was against these currents of popular opinion and of government opposition that Ferdinand Foch took up his work in the Su- perior School of War that work which was to make possible the first victory of the Marne, to save England from invasion by holding Calais, and to do various other things vital to civilization, including the prodigious achievements of the days that have since fol- lowed.
