This book was released on 1984 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presse de tranchées constitue une source précieuse pour la connaissance des soldats français pendant la première guerre mondiale. Rédigée par une minorité de combattants, elle traduit dans une large mesure l'état d'esprit de l'armée toute entière. La presse du front montre ainsi l'ambivalence de l'image de l'arrière chez les soldats, leur vision de la vie et de la mort, la perception de l'évènement auquel ils prenaient part. Elle permet également de mieux discerner les contours du sentiment national des combattants de 1914-1918

Book Synopsis Lectures de poilus by : Benjamin Gilles
Download or read book Lectures de poilus written by Benjamin Gilles and published by Editions Autrement. This book was released on 2013 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Malgré la boue, le froid et l'omniprésence de la mort, les poilus ont beaucoup lu, autant la presse que des livres. Pour s'informer, pour lutter contre l'ennui et la peur, pour mettre des mots sur l'indicible. Guerre et Paix de Tolstoï ou Le Feu de Barbusse, succès dès sa parution en 1917, rappellent aux soldats leur expérience vécue ; les oeuvres de Jammes ou de Loti offrent une évasion bienvenue... Du côté de la presse, la guerre renforce la prééminence des grands quotidiens nationaux, mais les soldats lisent aussi la presse illustrée, notamment La Vie parisienne, qui apporte un peu de légèreté. Croisant les sources officielles, les archives d'éditeurs et les témoignages, Benjamin Gilles nous permet d'être au plus près du ressenti des soldats. Se dessine ainsi un portrait renouvelé de nos poilus, plus érudits que l'on a tendance à le penser, bien moins sensibles au "bourrage de crâne" qu'on ne l'a dit, et travaillés sans cesse par le besoin de comprendre. Une plongée au coeur de la vie dans les tranchées et de l'époque tout entière."

Download or read book 1914-1918, journal d'un régiment written by Jean-Marie Gazagne and published by Editions de Borée. This book was released on 2005 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les années de la Grande Guerre semblent si lointaines... Et pourtant, elles ne doivent pas tomber dans l'oubli, en hommage aux 8 400 000 soldats français qui furent mobilisés, dont 1 360 000 ne revinrent jamais de l'enfer. Dans les tranchées, dans la boue, non loin des cadavres, la vie a continué. Les hommes se sont organisés, exerçant des " petits métiers " et inventant des bricolages afin de résister aux assauts d'un ennemi mieux équipé. À travers le journal de route du 142e régiment d'infanterie, en casernement dans le Sud de la France, Jean-Marie Gazagne retrace ces quatre années de guerre, reproduisant dans cet ouvrage de mémoire de nombreux documents inédits. C'est la guerre de nos grands-pères, mais aussi leur vie, qui s'expose dans ce livre essentiel, pour que le sacrifice de toute une génération ne soit pas vain.
Book Synopsis The Legacy of the French Revolutionary Wars by : Alan Forrest
Download or read book The Legacy of the French Revolutionary Wars written by Alan Forrest and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major contribution to the study of collective identity and memory in France, this book examines a French republican myth: the belief that the nation can be adequately defended only by its own citizens, in the manner of the French revolutionaries of 1793. Alan Forrest examines the image of the citizen army reflected in political speeches, school textbooks, art and literature across the nineteenth century. He reveals that the image appealed to notions of equality and social justice, and with time it expanded to incorporate Napoleon's victorious legions, the partisans who repelled the German invader in 1814 and the people of Paris who rose in arms to defend the Republic in 1870. More recently it has risked being marginalized by military technology and by the realities of colonial warfare, but its influence can still be seen in the propaganda of the Great War and of the French Resistance under Vichy.
Book Synopsis French Soldiers' Morale in the Phoney War, 1939-1940 by : Maude Williams
Download or read book French Soldiers' Morale in the Phoney War, 1939-1940 written by Maude Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of the French army in 1940 is a well-researched topic in Second World War Studies but a surprising gap in the historiography emerges when it comes to the study of the French military prior to the German offensive of May 1940. Using various public and private sources in different languages, this book aims to address this gap by studying morale on the frontline and its management by the French Government, the Grand Quartier Général, at the scale of the regiment and on a personal level. This research also investigates German and British propaganda in French and aimed at the French sector of the frontline in order to offer the first comprehensive comparative study of French army morale in any language.

Download or read book They Shall Not Pass written by Ian Sumner and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2012-05-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This graphic collection of first-hand accounts sheds new light on the experiences of the French army during the Great War. It reveals in authentic detail the perceptions and emotions of soldiers and civilians who were caught up in the most destructive conflict the world had ever seen. Their testimony gives a striking insight into the mentality of the troops and their experience of combat, their emotional ties to their relatives at home, their opinions about their commanders and their fellow soldiers, the appalling conditions and dangers they endured, and their attitude to their German enemy. In their own words, in diaries, letters, reports and memoirs - most of which have never been published in English before - they offer a fascinating inside view of the massive life-and-death struggle that took place on the Western Front. Ian Sumner provides a concise narrative of the war in order to give a clear context to the eyewitness material. In effect the reader is carried through the experience of each phase of the war on the Western Front and sees events as soldiers and civilians saw them at the time. This emphasis on eyewitness accounts provides an approach to the subject that is completely new for an English-language publication. The authorÍs pioneering work will appeal to readers who may know something about the British and German armies on the Western Front, but little about the French army which bore the brunt of the fighting on the allied side. His book represents a milestone in publishing on the Great War.

Download or read book Poilu written by Louis Barthas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An exceptionally vivid memoir of a French soldier’s experience of the First World War.”—Max Hastings, New York Times bestselling author Along with millions of other Frenchmen, Louis Barthas, a thirty-five-year-old barrelmaker from a small wine-growing town, was conscripted to fight the Germans in the opening days of World War I. Corporal Barthas spent the next four years in near-ceaseless combat, wherever the French army fought its fiercest battles: Artois, Flanders, Champagne, Verdun, the Somme, the Argonne. First published in France in 1978, this excellent new translation brings Barthas’ wartime writings to English-language readers for the first time. His notebooks and letters represent the quintessential memoir of a “poilu,” or “hairy one,” as the untidy, unshaven French infantryman of the fighting trenches was familiarly known. Upon Barthas’ return home in 1919, he painstakingly transcribed his day-to-day writings into nineteen notebooks, preserving not only his own story but also the larger story of the unnumbered soldiers who never returned. Recounting bloody battles and endless exhaustion, the deaths of comrades, the infuriating incompetence and tyranny of his own officers, Barthas also describes spontaneous acts of camaraderie between French poilus and their German foes in trenches just a few paces apart. An eloquent witness and keen observer, Barthas takes his readers directly into the heart of the Great War. “This is clearly one of the most readable and indispensable accounts of the death of the glory of war.”—The Daily Beast (“Hot Reads”)
Book Synopsis Touching the Past by : Marijke J. van der Wal
Download or read book Touching the Past written by Marijke J. van der Wal and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of ego-documents figures as a prominent theme in cutting-edge research in the Humanities. Focusing on private letters, diaries and autobiography, this volume covers a wide range of different languages and historical periods, from the sixteenth century to World War I. The volume stands out by its consistent application of the most recent developments in historical-sociolinguistic methodology in research on first-person writings. Some of the articles concentrate on social differences in relation to linguistic variation in the historical context. Others hone in on self-representation, writer-addressee interaction and identity work. The key issue of the relationship between speech and writing is addressed when investigating the hybridity of ego-documents, which may contain both “oral” features and elements typical of the written language. The volume is of interest to a wide readership, ranging from scholars of historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology and social history to (advanced) graduate and postgraduate students in courses on language variation and change.

Book Synopsis France and the Great War by : Leonard V. Smith
Download or read book France and the Great War written by Leonard V. Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France and the Great War tells the story of how the French community embarked upon, sustained, and in some ways prevailed in the Great War. In this 2003 book, Leonard Smith and his co-authors synthesize many years of scholarship, examining the origins of the war from a diplomatic and military viewpoint, before shifting their emphasis to socio-cultural and economic history when discussing the civilian and military war culture. They look at the 'total' mobilization of the French national community, as well as the military and civilian crises of 1917, and the ambiguous victory of 1918. The book concludes by revealing how traces of the Great War can still be found in the political and cultural life of the French national community. This lively, accessible and engaging book will be of enormous value to students of the Great War.
