About this book

John Brewer provides a new framework for understanding Britains emergence in the eighteenth century as a major international power. Warfare and taxes reshaped the English economy but at the heart of these dramatic changes lay a tension between the nations aspirations to be a major power and fear of the domestic consequences: the loss of liberty.
