The Embattled SelfFrench Soldiers' Testimony of the Great War\nAuthor(s): Leonard V. Smith\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cornell University Press, United States\nImprint: Cornell University Press\nISBN-13: 9780801445231, 978-0801445231\nSynopsis\nHow did the soldiers in the trenches of the Great War understand and explain battlefield experience, and themselves through that experience? Situated at the intersection of military history and cultural history, The Embattled Self draws on the testimony of French combatants to explore how combatants came to terms with the war. In order to do so, they used a variety of narrative tools at handrites of passage, mastery, a character of the soldier as a consenting citizen of the Republic. None of the resulting versions of the story provided a completely consistent narrative, and all raised more questions about the \""truth\"" of experience than they answered. Eventually, a story revolving around tragedy and the soldier as victim came to dominateeve.
