Book Synopsis Military Conscription by : Simon Duindam
Download or read book Military Conscription written by Simon Duindam and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, entitled "Military Conscription: an economic analysis of the labour component in the armed forces", military conscription is regarded as an eco nomic policy to minimize the cost of labour in the armed forces. The economic cost of conscription becomes clear when we analyse the opportunity costs of conscription. If conscripts were free to choose whether to join the armed forces, many would not under the present day conditions, since for them the costs of conscription far outweighs the benefits. The principle of opportunity costs is always central in the economics of warfare. In this book the analysis begins with an investigation of these oppor tunity costs and then uses the results to analyse the formation of an all-volunteer force, which will in fact be achieved, if everything proceeds according to schedule, by 1998. Chapter one concentrates on the structure of the thesis. One of the cor nerstones is welfare economics. Welfare economics uses a mechanical view of the state. Translated to military conscription this means that the welfare of the conscript is a central point in the analysis of the economic aspects of military conscription. Also important is the fact that the concept of welfare concentrates on scarcity. Due to conscription the aspects of scarcity of labour in the armed forces are very weak, if not absent.

Book Synopsis The Kaiser's Reluctant Conscript by : Dominik Richert
Download or read book The Kaiser's Reluctant Conscript written by Dominik Richert and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Superb . . . a useful account of the First World War for anyone interested in the perspective of a member of Imperial Germany’s Alsatian minority.”—The Western Front Association As a conscript from Alsace, Dominik Richert realized from the outset of the First World War that his family would be at or near the front line. While he saw no alternative to performing his duty, he was a reluctant soldier who was willing to stand up to authority and to avoid risks—in order to survive. This thoughtful memoir of the conflict gives a lively picture of major events from the rare perspective of an ordinary German soldier. In 1914 Richert was involved in fighting on the French border and was then moved to northern France where he was in combat with Indian troops. In 1915 he was sent to the East and took part in the Battle for Mount Zwinin in the Carpathians and the subsequent invasion of the western parts of the Ukraine and of eastern Poland. In 1917 he took part in the capture of Riga before returning to the Western Front in 1918, where he saw German tanks in action at the battle of Villers-Brettoneux. No longer believing in the war, he subsequently crossed no-man’s land and surrendered to the French, becoming a “deserteur Alsacienne.” The book ends with his return home early in 1919. This “remarkable book . . . an absolute must-have” gives a fascinating insight into the War as experienced by the Germans, and into the development of Richert’s ambivalent attitude to it (The Great War Magazine).
Book Synopsis The Conscript & Waterloo by : Erckmann-Chatrian
Download or read book The Conscript & Waterloo written by Erckmann-Chatrian and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While other novelists center attention on the heroism and adventures of the Napoleonic era, Erkmann and Chatrian describe the ugly side of wars, directing our attention to the exhaustion and suffering of simple, peaceful people forced to sustain the well-being of the army. The mood of both stories is reflected in the opening words of "Waterloo:" "Everybody was tired of living like a bird on a branch and of risking their lives for matters which did not concern them." Yet, people's expectations didn't come true. The novel "Conscript" tells about the war in Moscow of 1813. The troops needed reinforcement, and it was provided with the conscript campaign of 1813. We learn about that time from a narrator, a watchmaker apprentice, who lived a peaceful life before being taken to the army. In those times, most people celebrated Napoleon's glory, and even the thoughts of the possible defeat seemed sinful. "A few old Republicans would shake their heads and mutter over their wine that the Emperor might yet fall, but they passed for fools," tells the narrator, whose life changes drastically. He is to face all the horrors of war and defeat, the infamous retreat, which is later followed by his surprise of the second campaign, which had even more disastrous consequences. The topic of the second novel in a bundle, "The Waterloo," is clear from the name itself, as it became a synonym of a disastrous defeat on the battlefield. Like in "Conscript," the main motive of the story is the suffering of peaceful people forced to go to war.

Download or read book Other Souths written by Pippa Holloway and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Other Souths collects fifteen innovative essays that place issues of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality at the center of the narrative of southern history. Using a range of methodologies and approaches, contributing historians provide a fresh perspective to key events and move long-overlooked episodes into prominence. Pippa Holloway edited the volume using a chronological and event-driven framework with which many students and teachers will be familiar. The book covers well-recognized topics in American history: wars, reform efforts, social movements, and political milestones. Cultural topics are considered as well, including the development of consumer capitalism, the history of rock and roll, and the history of sport. The focus and organization of the essays underscore the value of southern history to the larger national narrative. Other Souths reveals the history of what may strike some as a surprisingly dynamic and nuanced region--a region better understood by paying closer and more careful attention to its diversity.
