This book explores the eight-month wave of mutinies that struck the
French infantry and navy in 1919. Based on official records and the
testimony of dozens of participants, it is the first study to try
to understand the world of the mutineers. Examining their words for
the traces of sensory perceptions, emotions and thought processes,
it reveals that the conventional understanding of the mutinies as
the result of simple war-weariness and low morale is inadequate. In
fact, an emotional gulf separated officers and the ranks, who
simply did not speak the same language. The revolt entailed
emotional sequences ending in a deep ambivalence and sense of
despair or regret. Taking this into account, the book considers how
mutineer memories persisted after the events in the face of
official censorship, repression and the French Communist Party's
co-option of the mutiny. -- .
