Download or read book Maxime Weygand written by Barnett Singer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2008-05-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the armistice proceedings and at the Peace Conference after World War I, French General Maxime Weygand served as chief aid to Marshal Foch. Called out of retirement in the late 1930s, Weygand again served his country during World War II, becoming commander in chief of the French Army. His call for enhanced French unity, military preparedness, and adaptation to a new kind of war dominated by tank mobility might have saved France the humiliating defeat in 1940 at the hand of the Nazis, had it been heeded. Weygand's recognition of the Nazi threat earned him the respect of Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt. Weygand's Vichy Resistance led to his imprisonment from late 1942 through the end of the war. French archival sources, available oral testimony and Weygand's private papers contribute to a fascinating biography of one of World War II's unsung heroes.

Download or read book Maxime Quantum Rise written by C. Caron and published by C. Caron. This book was released on 2024-06-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A North Montréal teenager like any other, Maxime will start secondary school this autumn. Normally, he and his friends would look forward to a glorious holiday, but he has to acclimatize to his new reality. Following surgery, Maxime gradually realizes the exponential improvement in his mental and neuromotor capacities: fast reading, phenomenal memory, accelerated learning of foreign languages… Not to mention the fact that an ill-intentioned group is pursuing him and trying, by any means necessary, to capture him. In the course of his incredible adventures, Maxime will meet several challenges, overcome every obstacle in his path, and discover some astonishing skills… The adventure takes him across countries and continents, and he will face ever-greater challenges, little suspecting that he will play a crucial role in preventing the outbreak of a conflict whose consequences would be disastrous for humanity. — 10, 9, 8, 7… increasingly lethargic, Maxime doesn’t complete the countdown. Thrown into the mystery, he sails between dream and reality. He is walking at a snail’s pace along an endless path towards an unimaginable elsewhere. Looking up, he fails to recognize any constellation that might give a clue to his situation. Pivoting on himself, he scanned the sky, came to a halt… Could he really see Andromeda? Unbelievable! His senses contradict his knowledge: M31 is not in the right plane, and seems so close… But this galaxy is millions of light years from Earth! A moment of ecstasy… Inexplicable phenomena… Absolute emptiness. No murmur of wildlife, no rustle of flora, not even the sound of sneakers skimming along the path. Suddenly he had the deep, visceral feeling that someone, or even worse, something, was watching him.

Download or read book General Maxime Weygand 1867 1965 written by Anthony Clayton and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively biography of the French military commander chronicles his legendary and controversial career through WWI, WWII, and beyond. The extraordinary life of General Maxime de Nimal Weygand offers a fascinating glimpse into the perils and politics of 20th century French military leadership. From obscure origins, Weygand rose to a distinguished career as chief of staff for Marshal Foch during World War I and continued to serve his country after the war in Poland and Syria. Alarmed by Nazi Germany’s prodigious rearmament, Weygand locked horns with politicians who were blind to the growing military threat. In fact, he faced accusations that his desire for a strong army was anti-democratic. With German invaders again threatening Paris, Weygand argued for armistice rather than face certain military defeat. During Nazi occupation, he was no friend of the newly-installed Vichy government, and was sent to North Africa. There, he plotted the army’s return to the Allied cause and was imprisoned. Released at wars end, he was rearrested on the orders of Charles de Gaulle and afterwards fought to restore his name. In this concise biography, Anthony Clayton traces the vertiginous changes in fortune of a soldier whose loyalty to France and to the French army was unwavering.
