Jasper Heinzen

Prisoners of War and Military Honour, 1789-1918 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the long nineteenth century, officers were held as prisoners of war, but it meant pawning personal honour in exchange for freedom of movement and other privileges-in-captivity. Jasper Heinzen investigates how captives, statesmen, and humanitarians understood honour in this context, and the implications on our understanding of early modern war.
