The memoirs of a prominent statesman, who served as prime minister three times and was president of the republic in 1913–1920, contain comprehensive information from the history of French domestic and foreign policy during the First World War. What gives the work particular value is the rich factual material about strategic plans on the eve of the war, its main stages, relationships between partners in the Entente, and the course of hostilities. The second book covers the period 1915–1916. The publishing layout is preserved in PDF A4 format.
