No publishing date but thought to be 1940 as there is one photograph with this date, and pre-dating the fall of france. De Gaulle's dream of the mechanized army of the future and also an analysis and reflection on past advances. He foresaw the combined usage of armor, infantry, and artillery that the Nazi's used against France in their Blitzkrieg, but missed the crucial role of air power during that conflict.
