This edited volume explores conscription in the Napoleonic era,
tracing the roots of European conscription and exploring the many
methods that states used to obtain the manpower they needed to
prosecute their wars.
The levee-en-masse of the French Revolution has often been cited
as a Revolution in Military Affairs, but was it truly a
revolutionary break with past European practices of raising armies,
or an intensification of the scope and scale of practices already
inherent in the European military system? This international
collection of scholars demonstrate that European conscription has
far deeper roots than has been previously acknowledged, and that
its intensification during the Napoleonic era was more an
evolutionary than revolutionary change.
This book will be of much interest to students of Military
History, Strategic Studies, Strategic History and European
History.
