Author: Jonathan Krause

Jonathan Krause is a military historian whose research focuses on the French army and warfare during the First World War. French Generals of the Great War, written with William Philpott, uses collective biography to reassess commanders who led the largest Allied force on the Western Front. Casemate’s Pen and Sword listing identifies both authors, the Military imprint, and the volume’s foundation in French archival material. An independent title sheet likewise records Krause’s doctorate on French tactical development in 1915 and his teaching in military history. Rather than treating command as a story of simple success or failure, the volume examines the abilities, errors, adaptation, and achievements of twelve senior soldiers. Krause’s earlier study of the Second Battle of Artois supplies relevant expertise in French tactics and institutional learning. Readers receive a research-led account that restores individual commanders to a conflict often narrated mainly through ordinary soldiers or British and German perspectives.
