About This Book
A detailed narrative recounts military and political developments during the later Revolutionary wars: French operations on the Rhine culminating in the costly capture of a strategic riverside fortress, severe supply shortages and administrative strains on occupying forces, and the occupation and reorganization of Belgian and Dutch territories after Republican advances that seized major cities. Parallel victories on the Pyrenees and pressure from Prussia and other coalition states prompted preliminary peace negotiations. The volume also describes domestic measures, including an amnesty and government efforts to pacify the Vendean and Breton insurrections through negotiation and military measures.
