This book explores the mutinies in the French infantry and navy in 1919. This revolt stretched from France's intervention against the Soviet Union through to France's naval ports. This research is based on official records and the testimony of dozens of mutineers. It is the first study to tryto understand the world of the mutineers assessing their own words for the traces of their sensory perceptions, their emotions, their thought processes. It also considers how their memories persisted after the events. It shows that the conventional understanding of the mutinies as simplewar-weariness and low morale as inadequate. This text will interest students, general readers and scholars of both the Great War and its contentious aftermath. It will contribute to the growing interest in 1919 as the Twentieth Century's most unruly year. | Mutinous memories by Matt Perry, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
