The men who fought in Napoleon’s Grande Arm?e built a new empire that changed the world. Remarkably, the same men raised arms during the French Revolution for libert?, ?galit?, and fraternit?. 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 Arm?e vividly illustrates how this many-pronged culture gave Napoleon’s soldiers reasons to fight.

Описание: Excerpt from Allied Military Government of Rome Under the Fifth Army, 5-15 June 1944: Report to the Army Commander The victorious Fifth Army, after it took Rome, pushed the enemy back so quickly that within a few days Rome was left far in the rear of the combat zone. This was somewhat unexpected, and had an important bearing on the Allied Military Government of Rome. Allied Control Commission, which desired to assume charge of Rome government as soon as possible, was able to take over those functions on 15 June 1944, since on that day, the Fifth Army rear boundary was moved northward so as to clear the Eternal City. The group set up for Rome government by General Hume was left in that city and passed over to the Allied Control Commission. Lts head relinquished his position and moved forward with the other officers of Fifth Army Headquarters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
