Originally published in 1976, this book explores the relationship
between European society and the military institutions it fostered
from 1815-1918. In the period from the fall of Napoleonic
imperialism to the outbreak of the First World War armies and
navies grew in complexity, cost and size. The first half of this
book investigates these institutions from within, and looks at some
of the factors which held them together in an increasingly
difficult and hostile world, at their self-image, and at the
pressures upon them from society at large. As the role of military
institutions within society increased in importance, analysts began
to look for the effects which this interpenetration had on society.
Part 2 is concerned with the effects of this growing dominance of
society by its defenders. By the end of period covered by this
book, the age of total mobilisation for the war effort was upon us.
In a sense this second part of the book reinforces the conclusions
of the first, that military institutions are separate from the
societies which surround them, and between the two a growing gap of
misunderstanding and incomprehension yawned.
