Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the conceptual evolution of military conscription, tracing its roots from ancient Greece to the French Revolution. The author argues that universal service has been central to the development of democracy throughout history. By examining the parallel rise of citizen armies and free governments, the book challenges the notion that conscription is inherently oppressive. Drawing on examples from Rome, Athens, and medieval Europe, the author demonstrates how the decline of universal service often coincided with the rise of despotism. The book concludes that a commitment to universal service is essential for maintaining a vibrant democracy, as it fosters a sense of national unity and civic responsibility.
