Singing Soldiers

Singing Soldiers is a book written by John J. Niles that explores the role of music in the lives of soldiers throughout history. The book delves into the ways in which music has been used to inspire, comfort, and entertain soldiers on the battlefield, in barracks, and during times of rest and relaxation. Niles draws on a wide range of sources, including diaries, letters, and songs, to paint a vivid picture of the importance of music to soldiers of all nations and eras. From the martial music of the ancient Greeks to the songs of the American Civil War, from the music of World War I to the pop songs of the Vietnam War, Singing Soldiers offers a fascinating look at the power of music to lift the spirits of those who serve their country. Whether you are a history buff, a music lover, or simply interested in the lives of soldiers, Singing Soldiers is a must-read book that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the role that music has played in the lives of those who have fought and died for their country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
