A History of the British Army, Volume 1:: First Part — to The Close of The Seven Years' War - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A foundational work of British military history, this volume examines how the British Army took shape across centuries of war, adaptation, and institutional change.
J. W. Fortescue brings together campaigns, commanders, organization, battlefield practice, and military finance in one sustained narrative. Covering the army’s early formation through the close of the Seven Years’ War, he shows how methods of command, recruitment, and warfare evolved as England and Britain faced changing military demands at home and abroad.
This is a history written for readers who want depth and continuity. Instead of isolating famous battles from the systems that made them possible, Fortescue follows the long development of the army itself—its structure, its leadership, and the pressures that shaped its growth over time.
A strong choice for students, researchers, and serious history readers, Volume 1 is especially well suited to anyone interested in British military history, army organization, and the forces that helped define Britain’s rise as a military power.
