The British Army, 1714–1783

An Institutional History

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Rather than focusing on the military campaigns the British Army fought in the 18th century, Stephen Conway examines its structure, setting this against the social and economic context of the period. In particular, he examines the ways it maintained discipline, through corporal punishment and other means, with a relatively small officer class retaining their authority.
