| Abstract: | "Alex Mayhew provides new perspectives on military morale by exploring the experiences of English infantrymen in Belgium and France from 1914 to 1918. Drawing on approaches from anthropology, psychology, and sociology, he examines the morale and endurance of these soldiers and helps to explain how soldiers made sense of the Great War"-- |

| | The First World War was an unprecedented crisis, with communities and societies enduring the unimaginable hardships of a prolonged conïict on an industrial scale. In Belgium and France, the terrible capacity of modern weaponry destroyed the natural world and exposed previously held truths about military morale and tactics as falsehoods. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers suffered some of the worst conditions that combatants have ever faced. How did they survive? What did it mean to them? How did they perceive these events? Whilst the trenches of the Western Front have come to symbolise the futility and hopelessness of the Great War, Alex Mayhew shows that English infantrymen rarely interpreted their experiences in this way. They sought to survive, navigated the crises that confronted them, and crafted meaningful narratives about their service. Making Sense of the Great War reveals the mechanisms that allowed them to do so |
