Description

Although Louis XIV's navy did not "win" in any recognisable sense during the wars of the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, it was nevertheless one of the largest military institutions in the world at a key moment in the evolution of the modern state and modern warfare. This book examines how the navy was financed, arguing that the efficiency and accountability of state spending is fundamental to understanding the effectiveness of a military system.
