On the eve of the twentieth century, Joseph Gallieni and Hubert Lyautey claimed to have devised a new approach to the consolidation of colonial acquisitions. Their method emphasized the primacy of political action over military action, called for the replacement of military columns with a 'creeping occupation', and stressed the importance of economicorganisational development in ensuring the lasting stability of newlyacquired imperial possessions, and called for the unification of civil and military powers in the hands of the soldier, who would act as the first administrator of the colony.This method was the culmination of colonial experiences in Tonkin and Madagascar in the final decades of the nineteenth century. A Progressive Occupation? The GallieniLyautey Method and Colonial Pacification in Tonkin and Madagascar, 18851900 places the emergence of the method and Gallieni's own achievements in their proper context. The volume's focus then moves across the Indian Ocean to Madagascar, where Gallieni, combining the roles of CommanderinChief and GovernorGeneral, was able to play out his nascent colonial method on a grand scale. Meanwhile, his subordinates with Lyautey at the forefront were able to interpret his method in the execution of their missions.Drawing heavily on French archival sources, Michael Finch sheds new light on colonial conflict and consolidation during the age of European imperial expansion, illustrates the differences, gaps and transgressions that exist between the theory and the practice of pacification, and raises broader questions about the French army, empire and civilmilitary relations.
