Here is the first social history devoted to the common soldier in the Russian army during the first half of the 19th-century-an examination of soldiers as a social class and the army as a social institution. Based on extensive research in previously unused Soviet archives, this work covers a wide array of topics relating to daily life in the army, including conscription, promotion and social mobility, family status, training, the regimental economy, military justice, and relations between soldiers and officers.
