This book fundamentally revises our understanding of why soldiers of the eighteenth century served and fought. It reveals how these men embraced a unique corporate identity based on military professionalism, masculinity and hostility toward civilians, fostering notions of individual and collective soldierly honour and contributing to greater combat cohesion.
