Pershing Lecture Series: Pétain and the Making of Modern Generalship

Today, Henri Philippe Pétain is more often remembered for his collaboration with the Nazis during World War II, but his leadership during World War I – from the Battle of Verdun to the Mutinies of 1917 – saved France at least twice. Richard S. Faulkner will analyze how the controversial “Lion of Verdun” pioneered modern concepts and expectations of generalship.
