Military Servitude And Grandeur (1919)

Military Servitude and Grandeur is a book written by French author Alfred de Vigny in 1919. The book is a collection of essays that explore the nature of military service and the role of soldiers in society. De Vigny, a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, draws on his own experiences to examine the psychological and emotional toll of military service, as well as the sense of duty and honor that drives soldiers to fight and sacrifice for their country. The book also explores the relationship between soldiers and civilians, and the way in which military service can both elevate and isolate those who serve. Written in a poetic and philosophical style, Military Servitude and Grandeur is a powerful meditation on the meaning of service and sacrifice, and a tribute to the men and women who have dedicated their lives to defending their countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
