War, State, and Society in England and the Netherlands 1477-1559 - Gunn, Steven (Fellow and Tutor in History, Merton College, Oxford) a Grummitt, David (Research Fellow, The History of Parliament Trust) a Cools, Hans (Assistant Professor in Early Modern History, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)

Comparing the effects of war on England and the Netherlands, this book tests the idea that war increased rulers' power over their subjects. Exploring themes such as national identity and religious change, the result is a compelling and nuanced picture of societies and policies tested and shaped by the pressures of ever more demanding warfare.
