About This Book

Un jeune sous‑officier retrace l'onde de choc provoquée par des revers militaires, la stupeur et la morosité de la population toulousaine, puis la mobilisation collective pour la garde nationale mobile. Il raconte son engagement à vingt ans, l'entraînement au gymnase Léotard et la mort dramatique du maître, la surprise et l'inquiétude familiales face à son départ, et l'entrée progressive dans la vie militaire. Le récit mêle descriptions de la vie civile frappée par la défaite, détails d'instruction et réflexions sur la discipline, la camaraderie, le devoir et l'amertume qui accompagnent la guerre.
