The Left Handed Legion (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : CitiRetail, Stevenage, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. For more than two thousand years, roughly one soldier in ten has marched, trained, and fought using a hand his own army was never built for.The Left Handed Legion traces the hidden history of left handedness in the armies of the world, from the shield walls of ancient Greece and Rome, where a single reversed shield could break an entire formation, to the medieval church, where the left hand carried the weight of scripture and suspicion. It follows the story into nineteenth century schoolrooms, where children's hands were tied and struck until they wrote with the "correct" one, and into the design bureaus that engineered bolt action rifles, from the Springfield to the Lee Enfield, with a right side bolt handle that never once considered the soldier reaching for it with his left.Along the way, this book uncovers a persistent and largely unexamined irony: some of history's most formidable commanders, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Simon Bolivar among them, are recorded by their own contemporaries as left handed men who rose to the very top of institutions built, at every level beneath them, to erase that trait entirely. It follows the testimony of twentieth century veterans told bluntly on their first day of training that they were now, for all military purposes, right handed. And it traces the science, real twin studies, real neuroscience, that finally began to dismantle two thousand years of superstition with actual evidence.This is narrative nonfiction built on real historical sources: classical military manuals, medieval religious texts, patent filings, veteran oral testimony, and peer reviewed genetics and neuroscience research. It is a story about tactics and theology, about rifles and religion, about the strange durability of an ancient prejudice, and about the ordinary soldiers, rarely named, rarely remembered, who carried it without ever being asked whether they minded.For readers of accessible, character driven military and cultural history, The Left Handed Legion offers a genuinely new way of looking at the armies of the past two thousand years, and at the one soldier in ten history so rarely thought to ask about. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798235584754
