To maintain morale amongst soldiers in the wretched trenches of World War I, the French army provided regular rations of wine and other alcohol that became a defining feature of French soldiers' experience. A Thirst for Wine and War explores the French army's strategic distribution of alcohol as a method of emotional and behavioural control.
