During the two World Wars that marked the 20th century, hundreds of
thousands of non-European combatants fought in the ranks of various
European armies. The majority of these soldiers were Muslims from
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, or the Indian
Subcontinent. How are these combatants considered in existing
historiography? Over the past few decades, research on war has
experienced a wide-reaching renewal, with increased emphasis on the
social and cultural dimensions of war, and a desire to reconstruct
the experience and viewpoint of the combatants themselves. This
volume reintroduces the question of religious belonging and
practice into the study of Muslim combatants in European armies in
the 20th century, focusing on the combatants' viewpoint alongside
that of the administrations and military hierarchy.
