From the author of "Celtic Warfare, 1595-1763", this work examines the links between war and the rise of the nation-state, and shows how the state's monopoly of the means of violence is the key to understanding the impact of military affairs on European society in this period. The book is intended for undergraduate courses on early modern Europe, European expansionism, and the rise of the state, as well as for military historians and war studies.
