Over the early modern period, many millions of young men from the four corners of the present United Kingdom went to war, often-and most bloodily-against each other. The almost continuous fighting on land and sea for the two and one-half centuries between Bosworth and Culloden decimated lives, but created the British state and forged the nation as the world's predominant power.In this innovative and moving book, Charles Carlton explores the glorious and terrible impact of war at the national and individual levels. Chapters alternate, providing a robust military and political narrative interlaced with accounts illuminating the personal experience of war, from recruitment to the end of battle in discharge or death. Carlton expertly charts the remarkable military developments over the period, as well as war's enduring corollaries-camaraderie, courage, fear, and grief-to give a powerful account of the profound effect of war on the British Isles and its peoples. 606 $aMilitary art and science$zGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory, Military$y1485-1603 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory, Military$y1603-1714 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory, Military$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory. 676 $a355.020941/0903 700 $aCarlton$b Charles$f1941-$0201142 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457523303321 996 $aThis seat of Mars$92476891 997 $aUNINA
