This book examines the transformation of the French military profession during the momentous period that saw the death of royal absolutism, the rise and fall of successive revolutionary regimes, the consolidation of Napoleonic rule and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy after the Empire’s final collapse. Crossing traditional chronological boundaries, it brings together periods in French history that are usually treated separately and challenges established views of change and continuity during the Age of Revolution. Based on a wealth of archival sources, this book is as much a social history of ideas like equality, talent, and merit as a military history.

In this book you can appreciate the development and complexity of France's uniforms, from the Louis XV era to the Second Empire of Napoleon III. All the subjects are seen through the eyes of Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Bréville, well known by the pen name Job after his initials (1858-1931), a great French artist. The series is published on 3 volumes that include about 200 and more wonderful original illustrations of uniforms from the 18th century to Napoleonic era until the end of 19th century. This book presents pictorial documentation of the appearance of French soldiers throughout the period, with the support of short essays on France's military history. The particulary well-executed original Job's illustrations, slightly restored by our graphic artist are presented to the general public here for the first time. Job's plates show how the Royal and Imperial French Army, again and again, were a decisive factor in the story of Europe. This last volume of 3 complete the uniforms from late Napoleonic era to 1870.
