Soldiers as Citizens
Rank and file soldiers were not 'the scum of the earth' but included a cross section of working-class men, who retained their former civilian culture. The book will challenge assumptions that the British army was politically neutral, if privately conservative, by uncovering a rich vein of liberal and radical political thinking among some soldiers, officers and political commentators. While they often exhibited pride in regiment and nation, soldiers could also demonstrate a growing class consciousness and support for political radicalism.
Case studies are given of individual 'military radicals', soldiers or ex-soldiers who were reforming and later socialist activists. Popular This ranges from the Whig 'militia' tradition, through radical theories on tactics and army reform, to attempted ultra-radical subversion amongst troops, and the involvement of soldiers in riots and risings.
