Citizen Soldiers and the Key to the Bastille Reviews

Osman reexamines the role of the French army of the Old Regime in the outbreak of the French Revolution. ... this work constitutes a great example of the benefits of combining cultural with military history. It definitely fulfils its promise to speak to the value of using cultural methodology for military history, as well as how military institutions are fruitful sites for cultural analysis. ... it is also a valuable contribution to the renewed study of Atlantic world political culture. (Christine Haynes, Journal of Modern History, Vol. 88 (4), 2016)
