    Experiences of War in Europe...1792–1815

    in General Discussions

    Experiences of War in Europe and the Americas, 1792–1815: Soldiers, Slaves, and Civilians

    Mark Lawrence

    Routledge, 7/2021

    ISBN#: 9780367695606

    260 Pages


    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 mobilisation 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.

    Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Context of the French Revolution and the Art of War 3. Living with Campaigning 4. Living with Armies 5. Living with Empire 6. Living with Insurrection 7.Conclusion
