In \u003cem\u003eThe Army in Cromwellian England\u003c\/em\u003e Henry Reece describes, for the first time, the nature of that experience, both for members of the army and for civilian society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSplit into three parts, the first section looks at the size of the army, its material needs, promotion structure, and political engagement to provide a sense of the day-to-day reality of being part of a standing army. The second part considers the impact of the military presence on society by establishing where soldiers were quartered, how they were paid, the material burden that they represented, the divisive effects of the army's patronage of religious radicals, and the extensive involvement of army officers in the government of the localities. The final section re-evaluates the army's role in the political events from Cromwell's death to the restoration of the Stuart monarchy, and explains why the army crumbled so pitifully in the last months of the Commonwealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Reece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019872652X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198726524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Henry Reece","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896395817215,"sku":"9780198726524","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f82d4ff7-ee7b-448b-a4ec-03f2095c5710.jpg?v=1721371284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-army-in-cromwellian-england-henry-reece-9780198726524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
