This presents a major re-evaluation of the standard view of
revolutionary armies, the range of attitudes towards the role of
heroic individuals, the formation and leadership of armies, and the
differences and similarities between such armies. Beginning with an
exploration of the New Model Army of the 1640s, a force whose name
itself seems to denote its revolutionary credentials, the author
presents ten case studies from around the globe, including the
American War of Independence, The French Revolution, The Zulu-Boer
War, the Waffen SS and the Viet-Cong. Through a detailed analysis
of source material, he examines the images connected with these
armies, both historical and recent, and assesses these images in
their socio-political and nationalist contexts.
