Synopsis:

Have specific cultures established in military units, societies, states, or nations that have led to excessive military force? The contributions of this volume examine how specific military violence cultures developed in the regular armies of the major European powers--from the early modern period to the end of World War II. They also illuminate the role they played in the exercise of excessive force by soldiers. The focus of the volume is on physical violence considered illegitimate by contemporaries in both war and peacetime. Thus, both the standards of legitimacy and illegitimacy of violence and the conditions of its change can be shown. The surprising result is: despite the specific military cultures of violence of the European armies in the various eras, these had less impact on excessive violence than previously assumed in history.
