Description
Excerpt from The War of Positions
It is unfortunate that authors of books are so rarely known to their readers. This is especially true of books dealing with professional matters. In such cases one would like to be assured that the author really knows his subject, and is not merely a tyro feeding his readers with self-derived knowledge.
In Lieutenant Colonel Paul Azan we have a fine type of the French officer, a representative of that noble, glorious, and chivalrous Army which has for three years challenged the admiration of the world, friend and foe alike. He has learned his subject, not only theoretically, but also practically, through long service in the trenches and at the expense of honorable wounds. It is to be regretted that all who read his book cannot know the author personally.
A War of Positions, such as is being waged to-day, has never been known before - at least not on anything approaching the present scale. It has been made possible by the mutual action and reaction of firearms and of field works, aided on both sides by the recent progress of all sorts of technical inventions.
