Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book captures the contentious debates and political maneuvering surrounding the decision to maintain a standing army in England following the Peace of Ryswick in 1697. At the heart of the debate was the question of whether a professional military force was compatible with the preservation of English liberties. The author delves into the arguments put forward by both proponents and opponents of a standing army, examining their fears, motivations, and the historical precedents they invoked. The book not only sheds light on this specific historical episode but also explores broader themes of civil-military relations, the balance between liberty and security, and the challenges of maintaining a robust defense while safeguarding democratic values. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, the author provides a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of an enduring political conundrum.
