This book fundamentally revises our understanding of why soldiers of the eighteenth century served and fought. It reveals how these men embraced a unique corporate identity based on military professionalism, masculinity and hostility toward civilians, fostering notions of individual and collective soldierly honour and contributing to greater combat cohesion.
Introduction; 1. Motivation: new research and contemporary sources; 2. Reconsidering desertion in old-regime Europe; 3. Discipline and defiance: a reciprocal model; 4. Why they enlisted?; 5. A counterculture of honour; 6. Networks of loyalty and acceptance; Concluding remarks; Bibliography.
