This book explains how changing understandings of mind and body in
the period 1450-2000 transformed war, military culture, and
military theory. This book includes ground-breaking macro study of
the experience and culture of war. It uses previously neglected
sources, particularly memoirs and autobiographies of pre-1900
soldiers and synthesizes personal memoirs of common soldiers,
theoretical military guidebooks, religious conversion narratives,
philosophical treatises and visual art.For millennia, war was
viewed as a supreme test. In the period 1750-1850 war became much
more than a test: it became a secular revelation. This new
understanding of war as revelation completely transformed Western
war culture, revolutionizing politics, the personal experience of
war, the status of common soldiers, and the tenets of military
theory.
