"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"
