This work seeks to offer a new way of viewing the French Wars of
1792-1815. Most studies of this period offer international,
political, and military analyses using the French Revolution and
Napoleon as the prime mover. But this book focuses on military and
civilian responses to French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars,
throughout the rest of Europe and the Americas. It shows how the
unprecedented mobilization of this era forged a generation of
soldiers and civilians sharing a common experience of suffering,
bequeathing the West with a new veteran sensibility. Using a range
of sources, especially memoirs, this book reveals the adventure and
suffering confronting ordinary soldiers campaigning in Europe and
the Americas, and the burdens imposed on civilians enduring rising
and falling empires across the West. It also reveals how the wars
liberated slaves, serfs, and common people through revolutions and
insurgencies.
