Editorial Review	A timely reassessment of Albert Sorel's famous thesis about the role of natural frontiers in the history of French foreign policy. The author makes the story much more complex and therefore interesting. He also shines much new light on the French Revolution's expansion into Belgium and the Rhineland.' Donald Sutherland, University of Maryland 'A much-needed work: whilst political and social aspects of the Rhineland's occupation by the armies of the Republic have been discussed extensively, the military campaigns which gave rise to that occupation remain all but unknown. Not only has this deficiency been remedied, but it has been remedied in a fashion as scholarly as it is spritely.' Charles J. Esdaile, University of Liverpool 'Jordan R. Hayworth argues that, if the French Revolution brought the concept of natural frontiers into the political mainstream, it played only a limited role in military planning. In this important book, he follows the campaigns of one army, the Sambre-et-Meuse, and analyzes the complex relationship between ideas, politics, and war.' Alan Forrest, University of York 'Hayworth comprehensively flips the myth of France's 'natural frontiers' on its head by showing that it was not rooted in French history, but rather in the diplomatic and military dimensions of the early years of the Revolution. By weaving together the philosophical and political debates with the unfolding military campaigns, we now have a clearer understanding of the relationship between revolutionary ideology and revolutionary strategy.' Philip Dwyer, University of Newcastle '... Prof. Hayworth (Air Command and Staff College), has written an impressive account of why and how, within a few years of renouncing wars of conquest, France undertook and carried out a successful war to secure the Rhineland ... an excellent account [of] what has been a largely neglected war.'
