Servitude and Grandeur of Arms (Penguin Classics) Book

A captivating portrait of history creating itself, this study was written as Europe was struggling to recover from the Napoleonic Wars, when the remnants of chivalry were vying with the new, more democratic ideals. Dramatist Alfred de Vigny (1797-1863) explores the contradictions inherent in the military life.
