Napoleonica the journal n°7 is out now!

The latest issue of Napoleonica the journal is now available on Cairn, free to consult, download or you can buy a print copy for 7 €. The theme of this issue is “Counting the dead in Napoleonic campaigns: a complex problem?”.

The Napoleonica La Revue study day in October 2022 was an opportunity to initiate a process of research and reflection on the question of the number of deaths in the Napoleonic Wars. Was it millions, or just hundreds of thousands? The question is in fact highly complex: the data is heterogenous and the sources available sometimes poorly interpreted. There were those who died on the battlefield but there were also those who died as a result of their wounds. Finally, there were the wounded who died in transit or from disease. This issue is devoted entirely to the problem of casualty calculation.
