Introduction: Volunteers, war, and the nation since the French Revolution / Christine Kr�uger & Sonja Levsen -- Volunteers of the French Revolutionary wars : myths and reinterpretations / Thomas Hippler -- For the Fatherland? : the motivations of Austrian and Prussian volunteers during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars / Leighton S. James -- " ... so that people talk about Poland out loud again in the world today!" (Adam Mickiewicz, Pan Tadeusz) : Polish volunteers in the Napoleonic Wars / Ruth Leiserowitz -- F�ag an Bealeagh : Irish volunteers in the American Civil War / Michael Hochgeschwender -- "A race that is thus willing to die for its country" : African-American volunteers in the Spanish-American War, 1898 / Matthias Speidel -- British and imperial volunteers in the South African War / Stephen M. Miller -- Welcome but not that welcome : the relations between foreign volunteers and the Boers in the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 / Fransjohan Pretorius -- Heroes or citizens? : the 1916 debate on Harvard volunteers in the "European War" / Axel Jansen -- Voluntary enlistment in the Great War : a European phenomenon? / Alexander Watson -- Paramilitary volunteers for Weimar Germany's "Wehrhaftmachung" : how civilians were attracted to serve with irregular military units / R�udiger Bergien -- Fighting for God, for Franco, and (most of all) for themselves : right wing volunteers in the Spanish Civil War / Judith Keene -- From the Nazi Party's shock troop to the "European" mass army : the Waffen-SS volunteers / Jean-Luc Leleu -- An approach to the social profile and the ideological motivations of the Spanish volunteers of the "Blue Division," 1941-44 / Xos�e-Manoel N�u�nez -- Women in combat : female volunteers in British anti-aircraft batteries in the Second World War / Jutta Schwarzkopf.

Why do individuals voluntarily fight in wars? Volunteering is a characteristic phenomenon of modern wars, yet has surprisingly never been approached by historians, sociologists or political scientists in a comprehensive way. This book therefore fills an important gap in the historiography of war and society in modern times by�tackling the motivations, social backgrounds, military uses and experiences of war volunteers in the wars between the early nineteenth century and today. By using a comparative perspective, the book provides an important basis for the interpretation of volunteer movements and significantly furthers our understanding of the relationship between war and society in modern times.
