Book Description
Beginning with the armies, navies and internal security forces of Europe on the eve of the French Revolution, the author explains in detail the vast armed forces and militarized societies of the Napoleonic age. He then proceeds to an analysis of the contest between Europe's continuing revolutionary underground and the armies of reactionary and alien governments, culminating with the revolutions and wars of national liberation of 1848-66.
