Soldiers, citizens and civilians: experiences and perceptions of the revolutionary and napoleonic wars, 1790-1820

The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars affected millions of peoples lives across Europe and beyond. Yet the extent to which the constant warfare of the period 1792-1815 shaped everyday experience has been little studied. This volume of essays discusses the formative experience of these wars for men and women, as soldiers, citizens and civilians.
