Abstract

ABSTRACT First, what happened on the frontlines of this war to the notion of the ‘great man’ or great military leader in the sense used in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century dictionaries and in military literature all the way to the early twentieth? Second, if, as it seems, the violence and duration of the fighting in this war dissolved the notion of greatness in the sense of ‘a high level of attained dignity,’ what did it mean to be a good or bad French army officer from 1914 to 1918, during what was the institution’s longest experience of war?
