"Citizen-soldiers" describes books that focus on ordinary people who take up arms or military roles while remaining rooted in civilian life — reservists, conscripts, national guards, militias, volunteers, and civilians thrust into conflict. These works—ranging from memoir and reportage to historical or literary fiction and political analysis—explore the tensions between duty and domestic life, identity and obligation, community loyalty and state service, and the moral and psychological costs of serving without the full professional separation of a standing army. Character-driven and often intimate, the genre emphasizes everyday perspectives on combat, training, reintegration, and the ripple effects of war on families and communities, while interrogating broader questions of citizenship, civic responsibility, and the blurred line between civilian and combatant.
