Drawing on a large volume of research, this 1998 book considers
sustained warfare as a powerful agent of change which transformed a
wide range of institutions, structures, and processes in Britain
between 1688 and 1815, a period when Britain was at war for much of
the time. Stressing the positive as well as the negative, and the
long term as well as the short term, the effects of war are brought
to bear upon questions of central importance in the study of
eighteenth-century British history. How effectively did the
emerging state cope with the financial and logistical demands of
war? How severe were the economic and social strains imposed upon
the population at large, and how did they respond to the call to
arms? What effect did war have upon the industrialising economy? A
balanced overview is presented of Britain as a nation at war during
an important phase of her development as an imperial, industrial
and military power.
