War, Culture and Society, 1750–1850: Office Politics and Individual Credit in France 1789-1848

Kingston, R.

Ralph Kingston examines the lives and influence of bureaucrats inside and outside the office as they helped define nineteenth-century bourgeois social capital, ideals of emulation, honour, and masculinity.
