Description
Explore the military campaigns that defined France's reign under Louis XIV with this scholarly examination of warfare from 1667 to 1714. John Lynn investigates how the Sun-king maintained one of the largest Western armies since imperial Rome's fall, analysing the strategic policies, operational logistics, and diplomatic consequences of four decades of continuous conflict. Discover how these wars, though securing limited territory, strained France's finances and ultimately influenced the monarchy's collapse. This Routledge publication combines rigorous historical analysis with accessible narrative, making it essential reading for understanding how military ambition and fiscal exhaustion reshaped European power dynamics during the early modern period.
