Soldiers

A Global History of the Fighting Man, 1800–1945

John A Haymond,

About this book

A global study of how soldiers lived, worked, and fought, and how many died, spanning from the Napoleonic War to World War II.

No matter the war, no matter the army, no matter the nationality, common threads run through the experiences of men at war. Soldiers highlights these shared experiences across 150 years of warfare, from the Napoleonic Wars through World War II and everything in between, such as the Mexican and Crimean Wars, the American Civil War, the U.S. Indian Wars and Britain's imperial bush wars, the Boxer Rebellion, the Boer War, the First World War, and more. Haymond explores the experiences that connect soldiers across time and space and draws heavily from firsthand accounts to craft a narrative with flesh-and-blood immediacy. Soldiers is entertaining and informative: history at its best.

Praise for Soldiers

"What makes Soldiers an interesting read is Haymond's writing style and technique of comparing the common experiences of fighting men regardless of uniform and time served during the period....Highly recommended for both scholars and students alike. It is a must for readers interested in the experience and psychology of being a warrior during this period."— Military Review: The Professional Journal of the United States Army
