AB InBev is today's uncontested world leader of the beer market. It represents over 20% of global beer sales, with more than 450 million hectolitre a year flowing all around the world. Its Belgian predecessor, Interbrew, was a success story stemming from the 1971 secret merger of the country's two leading brewers: Artois and Piedboeuf. Based on material originating from company and private archives as well as interviews with managers and key family actors, this is the first study to explore the history of the company through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The story starts in the mid-nineteenth century with the scientific breakthroughs that revolutionised the beer industry and allowed both Artois and Piedboeuf to prosper in a local environment. Instrumental in this respect were the respective families and their successive heirs in stabilizing and developing their firms. Despite the intense difficulties of two world wars in the decades to follow, they emerged stronger than ever and through the 1960s became undisputed leaders in the national market. Then, in an unprecedented move, Artois and Piedboeuf secretly merged their shareholding in 1971, though keeping their operations separate until 1987 when they openly and operationally merged to become Interbrew. Throughout their histories Artois, Piedboeuf, and their successor companies have kept a controlling family ownership. This book provides a unique insight into the complex history of these three family breweries and their path to becoming a prominent global company, and the growth and consolidation of the beer market through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Comrades-In-Arms is a powerful and passionate account by a French cavalry officer of daily life on the Western Front from January 1915 to August 1916. Lécluse commanded an elite cavalry unit during campaigns in Artois, Champagne, and Alsace. He regarded the men who served under him as comrades and heroes, and the memoir was written to memorialize those who had fallen in combat. Beautifully written and extremely moving, Lécluse’s memoir consists of thirty-three individual chapters resembling short stories in form and devoted to descriptions of artillery bombardments, raids on enemy trenches, grisly atrocities, night patrols gone awry, the deaths of beloved comrades, and battlefields strewn with bodies. There are chapters devoted to rivers of mud flowing in the trenches, ruined villages, stately chateaux, descrated churches, the agonizing death of a black African soldier, a winter in Alsace, the murder of a pet bull-terrier, and fleeting moments of pleasure and escape amidst the nightmare of combat. This artful narrative will appeal to readers interested in military history and to those who enjoy beautifully written stories based on the daily lives of common soldiers.

Will Warren survive the war, and will Evette unearth the infiltrator in her own territory before it's too late?

Jack Sheldon examines the German mindset at the close of 1914 when it became apparent that a quick victory was no longer a possibility. Both sides were temporarily exhausted in static positions from the Channel to the Swiss Border. In a reversal of roles, the French launched major offensives in Champagne and Artois, while the British Army, adapting to the demands of large scale continental warfare, went on the offensive in support at Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge and Loos.Such was the Allied pressure that the only German offensive in 1915 was at Ypres in April using gas on a large scale for the first time.1915 was a transitional year on the Western Front with lessons being learned the hard way by both sides prior to the massive attritional battles of 1916 and 1917.Using his skill at archival research, Sheldon describes how the 1915 experience shaped the German approach to the cataclysmic battles that lay ahead, leading to the ultimate, previously unthinkable defeat of the Kaiser’s Germany.

After the reverses of 1914, the French and British commanders were determined to turn the tables on the Germans and take the war to the enemy. A major combined offensive was planned in the Artois region of France but the French had to cancel their part in the operation. This did not deter the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Sir John French, and on 10 March 1915, the British attacked the German positions centred on the village of Neuve Chapelle. In what was the first British planned offensive of the First World War, the attackers overran the German lines and almost achieved an unparalleled breakthrough. Only a lack of artillery shells and a breakdown in communications prevented the British First Army under General Haig from taking full advantage of the unprecedented success. The battle demonstrated how trench systems could be penetrated and set the pattern of warfare on the Western Front for the next three years, with the Allies seeking to achieve that elusive breakthrough which slipped through their fingers at Neuve Chapelle. The shortage of shells was seen as a ‘scandal’ which brought down the Liberal Government.

Il y a quelque chose de vertigineux dans la vie de Louis-Antoine de Bourbon-Artois, duc d'Angoulême (1775-1844), prince si proche et pourtant toujours si loin du trône. L'histoire et les hommes s'ingénièrent à laisser le duc, destiné à régner, en posture de perpétuel héritier, dans l'ombre de ses oncles Louis XVI et Louis XVIII, puis de son père Charles X, et de sa sombre cousine et épouse, l'orpheline du Temple. Fils soumis et un peu niais d'apparence, incapable de prolonger la lignée des Bourbons, aux prises avec des événements trop grands pour lui qui le condamnèrent à l'exil plus de la moitié de sa vie, il montra néanmoins des qualités politiques et militaires en 1814, sous la première Restauration, puis lors de l'expédition d'Espagne de 1823, qui lui valut la réputation de vainqueur du Trocadéro. La révolution de 1830 sonna le glas de ses espérances, d'autant que la perspective d'une succession se reporta sur son neveu le duc de Bordeaux. Il ne fut ainsi formellement Louis XIX que quelques secondes le 2 août 1830, forcé par son père de renoncer à la couronne. Pourtant, la destinée de ce roi sans royauté, mort à Goritz en Autriche, très loin d'une France qu'il ne connaissait plus, accompagne et éclaire celle de la monarchie française dans une époque singulièrement tourmentée. Les vaincus de l'histoire ont aussi contribué à l'écriture de celle-ci, à leur façon.

1338. Edouard III, roi d'Angleterre, pousse par son cousin Robert d'Artois (celui des Rois maudits...), entre en rebellion contre Philippe VI de Valois, suzerain de ses possessions francaises. La Guerre de Cent ans vient de commencer. Parmi les vassaux du roi, le noble Comte de Salisbury, bientot l'heureux epoux de la belle Alix de Granfton, dont le roi est secretement amoureux. Escarmouches, batailles navales, combats sanglants, la fortune sourit aux Anglais vainqueurs a Crecy et devant Calais. Le comte, prisonnier des Francais, rentre chez lui c'est pour apprendre avec horreur que le roi a abuse, apres l'avoir droguee, de la tendre Alix. L'epopee guerriere devient alors une tragedie dont l'issue - que nous ne devoilerons pas ici - ne peut etre que fatale. La Comtesse de Salisbury, parue dans La Presse, de juillet a septembre 1836, est le PREMIER ROMAN-FEUILLETON de la litterature. On y trouve deja pleinement le souffle des grands romans historiques a venir.
