Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a profound and intriguing study of troop psychology throughout history. The author utilizes military chronicles to demonstrate the pivotal role emotions play in famed campaigns and on the grandest battlefields, often proving decisive. Fueled by a desire for heavenly conquest, Muslim armies conquered vast empires. Faith propelled Christian legions eastward during the crusades, sustaining them through harrowing trials. The hubris that defined the French nobility led to countless battlefield defeats, from Mansourah (1250) to Agincourt (1415), not to mention Crà cy, Maupertuis, Poitiers, and Azincourt. While such arrogance led to disdain for infantry and artillery, provoking disasters, it also inspired heroic acts of self-sacrifice. Conversely, love of country and resentment against oppression enabled Lombard communes to wage victorious battles against Frederick Barbarossa and grant Flemish commoners the valor that brought them triumph at Courtrai and Beverhout, as well as the battles of Roosebeke, Gavre, Othà e, and Montenaeken. However, the advent of standing armies in the 15th century signaled a shift toward mechanizing the soldier. The author contends that the ideal 16th-century soldier was envisioned as a vice-ridden automaton, provided he was appropriately dull and obedient. The influence of Machiavelli's philosophy permeated the courts of the time, with military service becoming a means of fulfilling all a soldier's desires in exchange for surrendering his person to the sovereign. While mercenary companies operating as free agents had already exhibited such wanton and murderous behavior during the Hundred Years' War, the 16th century saw the regularization of these capricious cutthroats, transforming them into staunch supporters of the throne. The religious and civil wars that ravaged Europe, along with the profound intellectual turmoil of the era, left little room for noble sentiments in military education. This was the age of Rome's sack, when the soldiers of Charles V repeated the excesses of the Visigoths and Vandals; it was also the century of the Spanish Fury in Antwerp. Yet even in this period of intense spiritual crisis, one could hear the grave voice of Blaise de Montluc speaking the language of wisdom to his fellow officers, reminding them that moderation in food and drink preserves authority, that gambling ruins integrity, and that one must carefully monitor the use of funds intended for one's troops, as one's honor is at stake. Montluc never abandoned himself to women, recognizing them as the undoing of great men. The valiant defender of Siena proved a better psychologist than a strategist when he went so far as to don makeup to avoid disheartening his troops with his haggard appearance. The Thirty Years' War of the 17th century offers particularly telling insights. While soldiers conscripted from marketplaces were slaughtered in droves by Catholic and Protestant peasants who saw them as nothing more than malevolent brutes, the soldiers of Gustavus Adolphus edified all of Germany with their piety and discipline, enabling the Swedish king to lead his army through the valleys of the Main, Rhine, and Danube, where it became a symbol of order. Military automatons eventually gained the upper hand, reaching the height of their evolution under Frederick the Great. Fear was the primary mechanism of this machine, and the 18th century, with all its revolutionary ideas about freedom, saw the proliferation of whips in armies, assuming various names and forms, from the German schlague to the Russian knout, not to mention rods, batons, and the infamous cat-o'-nine-tails. Moreover, the threat of gunfire loomed just as large from the enemy as from one's commanding officers, who used it to quell any hint of insubordination. The great wars of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Empire, coinciding with a moral crisis among the populace, revealed new currents of sentiment within armies: love of liberty and civiâ¦. print-on-demand item.
