Forrest challenges the notion of a nation heroically rushing to arms by examining the massive rates of desertion and avoidance of service as well as their consequences on French society--on military campaigns and the morale of armies, on political opinion at home, on the social fabric of local villages, and on the Napoleonic dream of bringing about a coherent and centralized state. 606 $aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815$xDesertions$zFrance 607 $aFrance$xHistory, Military$y1789-1815 615 0$aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815$xDesertions 676 $a944.04 700 $aForrest$b Alan I$0139928 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784827803321 996 $aConscripts and deserters$9844760 997 $aUNINA
