The remainder of this book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career continuum from junior officer through flag officer. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later.

Bringing Manning's truth-telling into conversation with democratic, feminist, and queer theory, the book argues that outsider truth-tellers such as Manning tell or enact unsettling truths from a position of social illegibility.

Cada batalla tuvo sus victorias y sus derrotas, sus éxitos y sus fracasos. Hubo héroes concretos en ambos bandos, también acciones heroicas de batallones enteros. Hubo hombres que lucharon hasta el final más amargo, y murieron en los embarrados campos de Francia. Sus cuerpos nunca se recuperaron, y los lugares de su descanso eterno permanecieron sin ningún tipo de señal ni recuerdo durante más de un siglo.
