Abstract | For millennia, war was viewed as a supreme test. In the period 1750-1850, war became much more than a test: it became a secular revelation. This new understanding of war as revelation completely transformed Western war culture, revolutionizing politics, the personal experience of war, the status of common soldiers, and the tenets of military theory. |
