Inhalt:
Widely accepted at the time of the First World as a redemptive sacrifice on behalf of the nation, the soldier's death is increasingly regarded as an unacceptable tragedy. Blending military history with the history of culture and mentalities, Dying for France shows how patriotic models of the soldier's death have evolved over centuries.
