Reflections on the Short History of Standing Armies in England

By: John Short History of Standing Armies

John Trenchard examines the history of standing armies in England, particularly the conflicts that arose over the concept of a permanent army during the 17th and 18th centuries. He argues that standing armies are a threat to individual freedom and are often prone to abuse. A classic treatise on political philosophy, this book sheds light on the importance of safeguarding individual liberties in any society.
