The Illness and Death of General Gallieni

The first English translation of this rare text from 1920's France, Dr. Edouard Laval, General Gallieni's personal physician, chronicles the illness, surgery, and death that claimed one of France's greatest living heroes. Gallieni's horrific demise during the lowest point in French World War I history began a tempest of conspiracy theories that threatened to undermine Galliieni's legacy and torpedo the careers of the surgeons who attempted to save his life.
