In this essential addition to French military history, Owen Connelly examines both the wars of the French Revolution, between 1792-99, and of Napoleon. Arguing that the importance and drama of the Revolutionary Wars have been neglected, and that the unceasing cut-throat politics that continued into the Napoleonic era has been overlooked, this analysis examines the two eras together to provide a broader context for warfare. Connelly demonstrates how the Wars of the Revolution shaped Napoleon as a military leader and how the practices of warfare developed and deployed during this period was to influence modes of combat throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, establishing trends discernable in the First and Second World Wars.
Wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon, examines the causes of the Wars of the Revolution and Napoleon and examines key questions including what was the impact of the population explosion of the eighteenth century on armies and war.
