The period 1750-1820 saw the death of royal absolutism, the rise
and fall of successive revolutionary regimes, the consolidation of
Napoleonic rule and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy after
the Empire's final collapse. This volume examines the
transformation of the French military profession during this
momentous time. Based on a wealth of archival sources, it is as
much a social history of ideas such as equality, talent and merit
as a military history. It provides an analysis of shifts in the
idea and practice of merit before, during and after 1789, crossing
the chronological boundary of 1789 to bring the histories of the
Old Regime, Revolution, Empire and Restoration together. It also
makes available a comprehensive examination of the changes in
military personnel and institutions that laid the basis for
Napoleon's armies.
