In the Napoleonic period warfare ceased to be a matter for armies
alone, but also became an affair of the people. So, at least, runs
the usual claim. In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and Russia

group of specialists on the Napoleonic epoch tease out the
question, and arrive at some startling conclusions.
