Is there a single book which handles all of the French army's military actions from a tactical viewpoint in the AWI? I would prefer a secondary account in the tradition of Haythorthwaite, Duffy or Traine. Hopefully, it would include unit deployment,maps, combat descriptions, casualties, OOB etc. I haven't found one in English but maybe there is something in French I haven't heard of? |

I thought a new book on the French in the AWI came out recently. Not sure if this is it, or not: link |

Might be another book, as that one appears to have come out in 2017, if I am reading the thing correctly. |

@historygamer You mean this book?: link It's not out yet. Thank you for your first recommendation I'll check it out. I am still hopeful there is someone who covered the battles involving the French that is organized more like these books; purely military with an emphasis on day of battle tactics and anecdotes: link link |

Wood's book is excellent and highly recommended. |

Yep, that's it. Need to get it. |

If the focus is on French tactics and formations, battles at St Kitts and Cuddalore should also be considered. |
