Military Experience in the Age of Reason - Christopher Duffy

First published in 1987. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. It is very much the sort of thing that one hoped someone would write about armies in the Age of Reason; and now it is a matter of great pleasure that it has not only been done, but also done so superlatively well. - Army Historical Research Society Christopher Duffy is a wonderful writer who combines scholarship, depth and polish. The Social detail is astonishing, and his stiffly titled Military Experience in the Age of Reason will have a wide readership outside the regimental library. No one involved with the period, whether novelist, film maker, politician, or indeed psychologist, should fail to consult it. - Country Life
