Commander of the French Third Army at the Battle of the Marne,
commander of the Allied Eastern Army in 1916-17, and high
commissioner to Syria and Lebanon in 1924-25, Sarrail was one of
the most controversial figures of the Third French Republic because
of his deep involvement with domestic politics. Unlike the majority
of twentieth-century military officers, however, he was an ardent
supporter of Republican ideals and closely associated with the
political Left.
