Description

Nationalism and its effect on military strategy has long been of interest to scholars of conflict. Outcomes of war are not solely determined by firepower and numbers, but by the strength from camaraderie of soldiers fighting for their nation. Symbols and Sacrifice in War presents a new theory about the will to fight, arguing that whether or not a conflict resonates with the myths, symbols, and core beliefs behind national identity shapes soldiers’ morale, discipline, and initiative in battle. Brathwaite compares the will to fight of British, Indian, and Australian soldiers in the Second World War. She draws on military records such as unit diaries and morale reports to demonstrate the connection between identity and will to fight. Her research is important because political leaders make decisions ranging from the use of force to military manpower policy based on beliefs about what motivates soldiers in battle. Scholars of security studies, policymakers, and military professionals will be interested in this new theory of a key aspect of military effectiveness and power.
