Publisher Description
"Paths of Glory", written in 1935, takes place in the French army during World War I. An exhausted regiment is charged with the task of seizing an impregnable German stronghold. The mission fails, with fifty percent casualties, enraging the egomaniac general who promised victory to his superiors; three soldiers, as division representatives, are subsequently court-martialled and executed for "cowardice".

,
I. S. Cobb is the author!!! Great book though
This is not the book the movie is based on.
It is however an excellent read about the first few months of the invasion of Belgium and France by Germany in World War I, by an American journalist.
The book is filled with interesting,informative anecdotes regarding the subject.
