Post Description
Exploring the Effects of War on State Power in Modern Europe early, this book asks if competition Increased Military Rulers' Power over Their Subjects and More Forged Modern States, or if the strains of War break down administrative and Political Systems. Comparing England and the Netherlands in the age of warrior princes such as Henry VIII and Charles V, it examines the development of new military and fiscal institutions, and asks how mobilization for war changed political relationships throughout society.
