Descriptionof Die Kunst der Niederlage. Eine Geschichte der Kapitulation

Surrender was considered dishonourable, even though it was common. For even defeated soldiers want to go on living. But how does one go about losing a battle or a war and still survive? This book is dedicated to the art of defeat. It deals with quitting in war, with the dialectic between soldierly honour and survival instinct, and with the interaction between the conditions set by the victor and the willingness of the loser to accept them. Surrender represents a cultural technique that changed over the millennia of human history and depended not least on social developments and changes in weapons technology. Holger Afflerbach traces these changes, offering a somewhat different history of war from the Stone Age to the present.
