Recenzii
Rather than being of interest only to military historians, this book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the social and cultural backgrounds of Prussian soldiers in the eighteenth century, as well as their psychological emotions in battle ... the Möbiuses' book is thoroughly well researched and provides an anglophone audience with access to a great wealth of Prussian primary source material.
[A] valuable work for those studying the social history of eighteenth-century Europe.
Prussian Army Soldiers is an invaluable contribution to new military history. The authors succeed in doing what is almost impossible: providing an intimate glimpse into the mindset and emotional experiences of eighteenth-century Prussian enlisted soldiers ... This fascinating study provides a glimpse into the psyche of Prussian soldiers and is essential reading for those studying military history, especially during the era of Frederick the Great.
In sum, the book is a very interesting and convincing invitation to further develop a more interdisciplinary comprehension of history.
Katrin and Sascha Mobius have greatly expanded our collected understanding of the motivations and lived experiences of Prussian enlisted men in the era of Frederick the Great . This study will delight specialists in the field of eighteenth-century military history, as well as appealing to historians generally interested in German history and the development of the Prussian state.
Prussian Army Soldiers will be an important work . [It] will quickly find a place on the reading lists of graduate students and potentially advanced undergraduates as well.
Prussian Army Soldiers is a salutary effort to give a voice to common soldiers in the armies of ancien régime Europe. It will engage and instruct serious general readers and advanced undergraduates and inspire specialists in military history to continue on its distinctive path of source-based research.
Its sophisticated treatment of the sources in light of the latest research renders a great service to the historiography. A bonus for teachers at Anglophone universities are the twelve translated soldiers' letters in the appendix, which really bring to life the mentality of ordinary Prussian soldiers. It is therefore to be hoped that the book finds a wide readership.
[T]he work remains a significant contribution to understanding the mental worlds of pre-Revolutionary soldiers.
This is an important work on the psychology of combat. It will be essential reading for military historians of the 18th century, and it also speaks to many current concerns of social and cultural historians, such as masculinity, nationalism and the emotions.
This book is long overdue. Thanks to Katrin and Sascha Möbius, the Prussian common soldier - one of the most vilified creatures of early modern European history - is finally able to speak for himself again.
The soldiers of Frederick the Great have been commonly described as nerveless automata shaped by brutality. This book by Katrin and Sascha Moebius combines painstaking research and perceptive insight to make a persuasive counter argument that religious faith and a sense of honor fundamentally informed both individual and collective behavior under the complex stresses of early modern battle. Relevant as well was readiness to accept high-level risk as a matter of routine. Male lives in general tended to be short, dangerous, and random. And old hands still tell recruits, "if you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined!"
