Parmi les officiers en activité entre 1848 et 1870, seuls 8 % proviennent de la noblesse. C'est l'une des conclusions frappantes de l'étude de William Serman, fondée sur l'analyse d'une masse de documents inédits ou peu connus. Au milieu du XIXe siècle, en effet, le corps des officiers français combine deux systèmes démocratiques de recrutement : la sélection par concours de jeunes éléments d'avenir et la promotion interne de serviteurs déjà anciens. Certes la situation de l'enseignement en France, le coût des études préparatoires, le prix de la pension dans les Écoles militaires et la priorité longtemps accordée aux fils de courtisans ou de fonctionnaires pour l'attribution de bourses limitent la démocratisation du recrutement des Saint-Cyriens et des Polytechniciens. Mais l'augmentation du nombre d'emplois à pourvoir, le renouvellement rapide du personnel en temps de guerre et la répartition sociale des vocations militaires dans la nation favorisent la promotion massive de sous-officiers issus des classes populaires. Les classes moyennes poussent nombre de leurs fils vers l'armée, qui offre un important débouché à la jeunesse instruite et des possibilités exceptionnelles de promotion sociale à des milliers de jeunes d'humble origine. William SERMAN, né en 1932, est agrégé de l'Université, docteur ès-lettres, et maître-assistant à l'Université de Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne). Ses publications antérieures et ses travaux actuels ont pour objet l'histoire de la société et de l'armée en France au XIXe siècle.

From a pre-eminent Yale historian comes the first popular history of the 1871 Paris Commune, a seminal episode in modern European history. The Paris Commune lasted for only 64 days in 1871, but during that short time it gave rise to some of the grandest political dreams of the nineteenth century -- before culminating in horrific violence. Following the disastrous French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, hungry and politically disenchanted Parisians took up arms against their government in the name of a more just society. They expelled loyalists and soldiers and erected barricades in the streets. In Massacre, John Merriman introduces a cast of inimitable Communards -- from les péoleuses (female incendiaries) to the painter Gustave Courbet -- whose idealism fueled a revolution. And he vividly recreates the Commune's chaotic and bloody end when 30,000 troops stormed the city, burning half of Paris and executing captured Communards en masse. A stirring evocation of the spring when Paris was ablaze with cannon fire and its citizens were their own masters, Massacre reveals how the indomitable spirit of the Commune shook the very foundations of Europe.

The Paris Commune of 1871 is one of the great romantic failures in revolutionary history. Yet very little is known about its enemies, and especially the army, which first fraternized with the revolutionaries and then, two months later, crushed them with the utmost violence. This book, based on extensive archival research, is the first serious study of the role of the army in the civil war. It examines its composition and organization, its weaknesses and their effect on government policy, the steps taken to improve morale and discipline, the state of mind of officers and men and, finally, the conduct of the army in battle and the causes of the final bloodshed, in which about 20,000 Parisians were killed in the fighting or executed afterwards. Its purpose is to cast new light on the policy of the government and the problems of using an army in a civil war, and to tell for the first time the full tragedy of the suppression of the Comune, one of the bloodiest and least understood social conflicts in the history of modern Europe.

In 1870 Bismarck ordered the Prussian Army to invade France, inciting one of the most dramatic conflicts in European history. It transformed not only the states-system of the Continent but the whole climate of European moral and political thought. The overwhelming triumph of German military might, evoking general admiration and imitation, introduced an era of power politics, which was to reach its disastrous climax in 1914. First published in 1961 and now with a new introduction, The Franco-Prussian War is acknowledged as the definitive history of one of the most dramatic and decisive conflicts in the history of Europe.

"It was the best oftimes. It was the worst oftimes. " The famous open ing sentence ofCharles Dickens' Tale oJ Two Cities can serve as a motto to characterize the mixture of optimism and pessimism with which a large number of nineteenth-century intellectuals viewed the con dition of their age. It is nowadays hardly necessary to accentuate the optimistic elements in the nineteenth-century view of history; many recent historians have sharply contrasted the complacency and the great expectations of the past century with the fears and anxieties rampant in our own age. It is often too readily assumed that a hundred years ago all leading thinkers as weil as the educated public were addicted to the cult of progress and ignored or minimized those trends of their times that paved the way for the catastrophes of the twentieth century. In the nineteenth century the intoxicating triumphs of modern science undeniably induced the general public to believe that pro gress was not an accident but a necessity and that evil and immo rality would gradually disappear. Yet fears, misgivings, and anxieties were not as exceptional in the nineteenth century as is often imagined. Such feelings were not restricted to a few dissenting philosophers and poets like Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, 'Dostoevsky, Baudelaire, and Nietzsche.
