Episode Five. By 1917, men, armies and nations were nearing a breaking point. For individual soldiers, it emerged as "shell shock," a personal withdrawal from an intolerable reality. For armies it was rebellion; half the French army mutinied in 1917, refusing to undertake senseless attacks. The question is not why was there mutiny - but why did it take so long to erupt? This episode shows how the strain could be felt on the homefront, as well as populations became restless and resentful. And the greatest mutiny of all was the Russian Revolution - an uprising that reverberates to this day.
