Sinews of Power: War, Money and the English State, 1688-1783 by John Brewer

4.0

Had to read this for one of my classes in school, and was rewarded with immense insights into the making of Britain's fiscal-military state. Author was detailed with his arguments, and although it is not an easy read, it is very informative for those interested in Britain's rise in the 18th and 19th centuries.
