Refusing to inform on his best friend for pulling the school fire
alarm, Sam accepts the blame
The men who fought in Napoleon's Grande Armee built a new empire
that changed the world. Remarkably, the same men raised arms during
the French Revolution for liberte, egalite, and fraternite. In just
over a decade, these freedom fighters, who had once struggled to
overthrow tyrants, rallied to the side of a man who wanted to
dominate Europe. What was behind this drastic change of heart? In
this ground-breaking study, Michael J. Hughes shows how Napoleonic
military culture shaped the motivation of Napoleon's soldiers.
Relying on extensive archival research and blending cultural and
military history, Hughes demonstrates that the Napoleonic regime
incorporated elements from both the Old Regime and French
Revolutionary military culture to craft a new military culture,
characterized by loyalty to both Napoleon and the preservation of
French hegemony in Europe. Underscoring this new, hybrid military
culture were five sources of motivation: honor, patriotism, a
martial and virile masculinity, devotion to Napoleon, and coercion.
Forging Napoleon's Grande Armee vividly illustrates how this
many-pronged culture gave Napoleon's soldiers reasons to fight.
First published in 1998, this volume recognises that the face is
important in human relationships and a facially impaired person is
therefore disadvantaged. In this study the causes and social
consequences of facial disfigurement are considered, the means
whereby people adapt to revised appearance are explored, and an
evaluation is made of professional help. Suggestions are given for
improving the contribution of social work to rehabilitation.
