The Army of the French Revolution

Více o knize

Focusing on the army of the French Revolution, this authoritative work by Jean-Paul Bertaud explores its role as a national and revolutionary force during the first total war against European powers. It skillfully integrates military, social, and political history, portraying the army as a "school for the republic" that evolved into the Napoleonic regime post-1795. The English translation by R.R. Palmer makes this essential reading for historians, sociologists, and political scientists interested in the intersections of military and revolutionary movements.
