By telling the story of France's noncitizen soldiers - who included not only men born abroad but also Jews and blacks whose citizenship rights were subject to contestation - Christopher Tozzi sheds new light on the roots of revolutionary France's inability to integrate its national community despite the inclusionary promise of French republicanism.
