Pershing Reports AEF Readiness and 1918 Spring Crisis
General Pershing notes the AEF readiness after eight months in France and describes trench raids, hospital scenes, and morale. He recounts the March 1918 German offensive, British and French strain, the Doullens decision placing Foch to coordinate, and Pershing offering American divisions to bolster Paris defenses and aid the Allied front. He details supply efficiency at Isoudun and port visits with Secretary Baker and the French leadership.
