«Caserne 1900» is Léon Werth's account of his military service, published by Viviane Hamy in paperback (117 pages, in French).
Around 1950, Léon Werth returns to the notes he took during the twelve months of his military service. The book portrays life in the barracks around 1900: the behaviour of officers and soldiers, their feelings and psychology, without referring to the army as an institution. The author wanted to be objective, and the result is a testimony both comic and dramatic.
The work was published in 1993; the paperback edition consists of 117 pages.
Léon Werth was a French writer and art critic, a friend of Octave Mirbeau and a close friend and confidant of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
