| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Vive la France!" by E. Alexander Powell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It likely chronicles the Western Front through a war correspondent’s eyes, embedding with French and British forces to depict artillery duels, trench life, civilian endurance, and the machinery and organization of modern war, with an admiring focus on France’s courage.<br/><br/>The opening of the book follows the author’s struggle through Allied secrecy to gain front-line access, then his dash from Paris into a landscape of trenches, ruined villages, and resolute peasants. He witnesses a review near the guns where Poincaré and Millerand decorate soldiers, watches the poilus, artillery, and cavalry parade, then observes masked batteries execute precise, telephone-directed fire before being caught in a retaliatory shelling. A visit to Soissons reveals deserted streets and a shattered cathedral with a steadfast curé, segueing into clear explanations of observers, shrapnel versus high explosive, and the fortress-like nature of trench warfare. He renders the violence of barrages vividly and recounts Dunkirk and nearby Bergues under long-range fire directed by aircraft, conveying civilian terror and destruction. Shifting to the British line, he notes disciplined preparation (exemplified by the Prince of Wales training), Kitchener’s new army, humming logistics from buses to base hospitals, fast post and intelligence systems, strict sanitation, and the limited rum ration while rebutting “doping” claims. He also highlights large-scale veterinary care for horses, explains why the British hold a shorter, harder sector, and closes this opening with the first mass gas attack at Ypres that breaks a French colonial stretch under a chlorine cloud.
