SUMMARY

Comparing the effects of war on two early modern states, England and the Netherlands, this book tests the idea that war increased rulers' power over their subjects. Including detailed studies of towns and noblemen in both countries, it explores wider themes such as national identity, news culture, economic policy, and religious change
