A Thirst for Wine and War: The Intoxication of French Soldiers on the Western Front - Intoxicating Histories
Adam D. Zientek
To maintain morale amongst soldiers in the wretched trenches of World War I, the French army provided regular rations of wine and other alcohol that became a defining feature of French soldiers’ experience. A Thirst for Wine and War explores the French army’s strategic distribution of alcohol as a method of emotional and behavioural control.
