'German militarism' has long been understood to be a central
element of German society. Considering the role of militarism, this
book investigates how conscription has contributed to instilling a
strong sense of military commitment amongst the German public.A
Nation in Barracks tells the story of how military-civil relations
have evolved in Germany during the last two hundred years. Focusing
on the introduction and development of military conscription, the
author looks at its relationship to state citizenship, nation
building, gender formation and the concept of violence. She begins
with the early nineteenth century, when conscription was first used
in Prussia and initially met with harsh criticism from all aspects
of society, and continues through to the two Germanies of the
post-1949 period. The book covers the Prussian model used during
World War I, the Weimar Republic when no conscription was enforced
and the mass military mobilization of the Third Reich.Throughout
this comprehensive account, acclaimed historian Ute Frevert
examines how civil society deals with institutionalized violence
and how this affects models of citizenship and gender relations.
