First published in 1990, this title examines British defence policy
from 1688 onwards; the year in which Britain was successfully
invaded for the final time, and which marked a generation of
warfare that lasted until 1714, during which Britain came to be
known as a major European power. David French considers the
strategic alliances that formed and changed throughout the period,
and tests his hypotheses in light of the varying paradigms of war,
and British wartime and peacetime practices. The ways in which the
needs of both the army and the navy have been balanced over time
are analysed, with particular attention paid to how parliament
allotted money and resources to each. Wars under discussion include
the American War of Independence (1763-83), and the French
Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. A detailed and critical title,
this reissue will be of great value to history students studying
Early Modern diplomacy, with a particular emphasis on the strategic
development of British warfare and policy, and the place of Britain
within the European power structure.
