This book explores European soldiers' encounters with their
continent's exotic frontiers from the French Revolution to the
First World War. In numerous military expeditions to Italy, Spain,
Russia, Greece and the 'Levant' they found wild landscapes and
strange societies inhabited by peoples who needed to be
'civilized.' Yet often they also discovered founding sites of
Europe's own 'civilization' (Rome, Jerusalem) or decaying reminders
of ancient grandeur. The resulting encounters proved seminal in
forging a military version of the 'civilizing mission' that shaped
Europe's image of itself as well as its relations with its own
periphery during the long nineteenth century.
