The people in arms: military myth and national mobilization since the French Revolution / Edited by Daniel Moran and Arthur Waldron - New York: Cambridge Univ Press, 2002 - xi, 268 p.

Mass mobilization in time of war has come to be a common feature of modern political thinking: (described here as a myth) which is that such mobilizations express the wishes of a society and its members. This book considers the rise of mass mobilization in modern times since the French Revolution of 1793, covering its use in Europe, Russia, China, Vietnam, and Algeria.
