From Reason to Revolution 1721-1815

The ‘From Reason to Revolution’ series covers the period of military history c. 1721–1815, an era in which fortress-based strategy and linear battles gave way to the nation-in-arms and the beginnings of total war.

This era saw the evolution and growth of light troops of all arms, and of increasingly flexible command systems to cope with the growing armies fielded by nations able to mobilise far greater proportions of their manpower than ever before. Many of these developments were fired by the great political upheavals of the era, with revolutions in America and France bringing about social change which in turn fed back into the military sphere as whole nations readied themselves for war. Only in the closing years of the period, as the reactionary powers began to regain the upper hand, did a military synthesis of the best of the old and the new become possible.

The series will examine the military and naval history of the period in a greater degree of detail than has hitherto been attempted, and has a very wide brief, with the intention of covering all aspects from the battles, campaigns, logistics, and tactics, to the personalities, armies, uniforms, and equipment.

"I am Professor of Conflict History and Archaeology at the University of Glasgow and for me the Helion 'Century of the Soldier' and 'From Reason to Revolution' series provide incredibly useful teaching resources – for instance, I’ve been wanting to see something on French troops in the '45 for years and now here is it is. I know for a fact that students find the look of the books appealing, a factor that shouldn’t be underestimated, but equally they have an academic weight too. I have no hesitation in acknowledging the series as one of most important developments in military history publishing for 20 years." Professor Tony Pollard, University of Glasgow
