Portrait of an officer
Secker & Warburg London 1961. First edition. Original Boards. Very Good/very good. 154 pages. Dustjacket. Former owner's name on front free endpaper. Occasional annotation in pencil. Slight wear to spine covers corners & dustjacket. Portrait of an Officer There is no nation in the world with a greater military tradition than the French nor one with a greater spirit of inquiry. It should therefore be no surprise to us that France apart from her theoreticians of war her exponents of strategy and tactics should also have been profoundly concerned with the philosophy and psychology of war. In this book the author has taken for his central character Jean de Larsan a young and brilliant professional soldier the product of generations of country squires and warriors. Larsan has spent his whole adult life at war. He is imbued with the traditional military virtues; courage loyalty abnegation and honour. Indeed he exemplifies them. But his tragedy lies in the fact that he is too intelligent not to be aware that these virtues are paradoxically exercised by the soldier in essentially immoral and inhuman circumstances. As his personal story moves from a German Oflag to the Liberation of France and from Cochin-China to Algeria today the moral conflict gradually gains form and weight: how can the dichotomy between the civilised conscience of the man and the innate and honourable professionalism of the soldier be resolved M. Simon explores this dilemma with a tragic sympathy and a gift for dramatic evocation which nevertheless concede nothing to the intellectual precision of his theme. This book supremely Gallic in its intellectual approach and the clarity of its dialectic is probably the most important work on military psychology that has been published since Alfred de Vigny’s Servitude et Grandeur Militaires in 1835.
