This title in other formats:People's Army: Massachusetts Soldiers and Society in the Seven Years' Warby Fred Anderson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"A People's Army" documents the many distinctions between British regulars and Massachusetts provincial troops during the Seven Years' War. Originally published by UNC Press in 1984, the book was the first investigation of colonial military life to give equal attention to official records and to the diaries and other writings of the common soldier. The provincials' own accounts of their experiences in the campaign amplify statistical profiles that define the men, both as civilians and as soldiers. These writings reveal in intimate detail their misadventures, the drudgery of soldiering, the imminence of death, and the providential world view that helped reconcile them to their condition and to the war. Review:A convincing portrait of the psychosocial impact of the French and Indian War on the fighting men of Massachusetts. New York Times Book Review Review:Strikingly original. New York Review of Books Review:[E]xcellent blend of social and military history, exploding traditional views on the social makeup and motivation to service. Library Journal Review:[A] suggestive and intriguing book, as important for its method as it is for its conclusions. William and Mary Quarterly Review:A superlative piece of scholarship. The volume is 'must' reading for every student of military, social, or early American history.
