When soldiers return home from war and tell their compatriots about the years they spent in uniform, they usually recall only exceptional moments. And when the next generations look back, more often than not, victories overshadow failures, and only some, especially vivid, defeats remain in the memory for a long time. Such events were the first to be remembered throughout the nineteenth century; indeed, they still dominate popular history today. Military routines, however, quickly fade from memory. However, even the most hardened veterans had much of their army life filled with such routine, causing boredom and ennui.
The wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon's reign left many vivid images of battle scenes in the historical memory of the peoples of Europe, but this book is not really about them. The author explores various aspects of the military experience that have rarely been addressed in traditional descriptions of warfare and battlefield tactics, but played a crucial role in the lives of all who lived through the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The book highlights the multifaceted wartime experiences of contemporaries and the ways in which they were internalized by national memory over the next century.
