Showalter surveys an army at the heart of a national identity, driven by – yet also defeated by – warfare in the modern age, which struggled to capitalize on its victories and ultimately forgot the lessons of its defeat.

These men bribe guards and trade each other for supplies and food, with one offering to fight Clair in exchange for violin materials.
