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