This book examines a hitherto neglected aspect of the War of
American Independence, providing the first wide-ranging account of
the impact of this eighteenth-century conflict upon the politics,
economy, society and culture of the British Isles. The author
examines the level of military participation - which was much
greater than is usually appreciated - and explores the war's
effects on subjects as varied as parliamentary reform, religious
toleration and attitudes to empire. The books casts new light upon
recent debate about the war-waging efficiency of the British state,
and on the role of war in the creation of a sense of 'Britishness'.
The thematic chapters are supplemented by local case studies of six
very different communities the length and breadth of the British
Isles.
