The Sixth Royal Military College Military History Symposium, held in Kingston, Ontario, in Marcgh 1979, addressed five such situations. George Stanley?s opening essay, in this collection, discusses the general problem and sets the pattern for succeeding essays. These range from the British Army in the American Revolution (by Ira Gruber) through the French Royal Officers in the French Revolution (Samuel Scott), the Hapsburg Officer Corps during the reign of Francis-Joseph (Gunther Rothenberg), and the Canadian Expeditionary Force in World War I (Desmond Morton), to the German Officer Corps under Hitler in the Second World War (Peter Hoffmann). ?/p 606 $aAllegiance$vCongresses 606 $aLoyalty$vCongresses 615 0$aAllegiance 615 0$aLoyalty 676 $a355.1/23 701 $aDenton$b Edgar$f1919-$01755387 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154972203321 996 $aLimits of loyalty$94192155 997 $aUNINA
