Popular Resistance in the French Wars: Patriots, Partisans and Land Pirates
Charles J. Esdaile
In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and Russia outraged peasants and townsfolk rose against Napoleon's armies and fell upon them without mercy. From these insurrections we get the modern word "guerrilla", but did armed civilians really play an important a role in the struggle? In this collection of essays a group of specialists on the Napoleonic epoch tease out the question, and arrive at some startling conclusions.
