“This book brings to life a neglected aspect of warfare and does so in a way that will captivate undergraduates.”
-- Stephen Miller, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Sections on recruitment and evasion, military community, combat, and homefront provide appropriate historical context and background information for students, allowing for a more educated examination and comparison of memoirs.”
-- Alexander Mikaberidze, Louisiana State University
“This volume is a highly useful and well-balanced collection of soldier and civilian accounts of war and occupation during the Napoleonic period.”
