Concerned with the mass mobilization of society for war, this study starts with the French levée en masse of 1793. It replaced former theories and regulations concerning the obligation of military service with a universal concept more encompassing in its moral claims than any that had prevailed under the Old Regime. These papers analyze and compare episodes (in which the distinctive ideological configuration that the original levée typified plays a leading role).

"In their stimulatinmg collection, Moran, Waldron, and their colleagues have powerfully provided a bridge between the history of war and the history of political culture, and explained how a French phenomenon became a global one." H-FRANCE

Book Description
The People in Arms is concerned with the mass mobilization of society for war. It takes as its starting point the French levée en masse of 1793, which replaced former theories and regulations concerning the obligation of military service with a universal concept more encompassing in its moral claims than any that had prevailed under the Old Regime. The aim of the papers presented here is less to trace the historical memory and influence of the original levée as such than to analyze and compare episodes in which the distinctive ideological configuration that it typified plays a leading role.
