When men stop making lecherous catcalls and Spanx get comfortable in your lingerie drawer, when marketers target you for Activia instead of $200 premium denim, when you have to start wearing makeup to get that "I'm not wearing any makeup" glow and are "ma'amed" outside the Deep South, it may dawn on you that somehow you have crossed an invisible line: You are not the young, relevant, in-the-mix woman you used to be.

Da parecchi anni ormai la storia dell'esercito è diventata inseparabile dalla storia nazionale: ogni nuovo avvenimento politico lo conferma. br>Premessa
Kepi, baffi, magari il monocolo, una giubba nera, azzurro scuro o azzurro chiara, stivali, spalline, galloni sulla manica, l'ufficiale francese, prima del 1914, ricorda maggiormente l'ufficiale del secondo Impero che non quello delle due guerre mondiali. La sua figura rimane la stessa tra il 1871 e il 1914.

Analizzando la loro storia, ho rivissuto profondamente le sofferenze di questi uomini e soprattutto la massa anonima delle sofferenze subite dai soldati più oscuri, dai più modesti ufficiali, ad ogni svolta di questa epoca, ad ogni vittoria, ad ogni disfatta. I lettori, come l'autore, vogliano serbarne memoria. br>Premessa
Non è possibile farsi la minima illusione: qualsiasi pericolo di rivoluzione sociale comporterebbe il pericolo parallelo di una nuova irruzione dell'esercito nell'azione poltica. E potrebbe essere diversamente? Sarebbe necessario un ritorno alle sole missioni di interesse nazionale, all'unico immperativo della difesa del paese. Bisognerebbe ritornare al tempo in cui il patriottimo era la legge suprema, all'epoca ormai lontana in cui l'esercito aveva come sola ragione d'essere la sua patria. Ma è possibile questo ritorno, quando tutti i grandi stati occidentali hanno subordinato i propri interessi nazionali alla salvaguardia collettiva delle loro concezioni economiche e dei loro regimi sociali? Bisognerà dunque fermarsi su questo dilemma: la Repubblica resterà borghese, oppure l'esercito sarà il rifugio contro la Repubblica divenuta popolare?
