• W1513570235 abstract "The End of a Beautiful Friendship De Gaulle/Petain Reglements de comptes [De Gaulle/Petain: Settling scores], by Herbert Lottman, Paris: Le Grand Livre du Mois, 2008, 229 pp. [French] Reviewed by Michelle Mazel In this fascinating little book Herbert Lottman brings to life thirty years of troubled relations between Petain and de Gaulle, two emblematic figures of French history from opposite ends of the socio-economic spectrum. These are Petain, the disgraced World War I leader who later collaborated with the Germans during the Second World War and was condemned to death for high treason (the sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment) and de Gaulle, the war hero who saved the honor of his country and returned, triumphant, with the victorious allies to become the president of the Republic. The two met for the first time in 1910. De Gaulle, then a fledgling second lieutenant just turned twenty, joined the infantry regiment commanded by Petain, the son of a fanner, who was fifty-four at the time and had not gone beyond the rank of colonel after serving thirty- four years in the army. Young and ambitious, de Gaulle was a member of the French nobility. They had nothing in common except perhaps eye for the ladies and the fact they were both loners; they held widely different views on how modern warfare should be conducted. However, when de Gaulle left the regiment three years later, Petain had nothing but the highest praise for him. Likewise, the younger man was later to write that the colonel had the gift and art of command. The two men went their separate ways. Petain, still a colonel and with no hopes of promotion, began thinking about retirement and bought a house in the northern France, not far from his birthplace, while the newly minted lieutenant went on with his career. Then the First World War broke out. Suddenly the aging warrior was recalled to life. He was given a command and the rank of brigadier; soon he was entrusted with the task of stopping the Germans at Verdun. He was so good at his job that a few weeks shy of his sixtieth birthday he became supreme commander of the French army. When the war was over a grateful nation bestowed on Philippe Petain the rank of Marechal de France - - Field Marshall. The ambitious young officer, now a captain, did not fare so well. Already wounded twice - - some say that the towering six-foot, four-inch figure of de Gaulle, always the first to charge, presented easy target - he led yet another attack at Verdun, was wounded again and captured by the enemy. He was believed dead; Petain himself eulogized him as an outstanding officer (15). Despite his five attempts to escape, peace found Captain de Gaulle still a prisoner of war. While Petain received the highest honors, de Gaulle had to go back to military school to make up for the years spent in prison. He then moved to the Ecole Superieure de Guerre - a higher military academy. Yet finding himself once more in the classroom did not sit well with him. His superiors found him to be arrogant. …" @default.
