Christopher Duffy
`It is very much the sort of thing that one hoped someone would
write about armies in the Age of Reason; and now it is a matter of
great pleasure that it has not only been done, but also done so
superlatively well.' - Army Historical Research Society
`Christopher Duffy is a wonderful writer who combines scholarship,
depth and polish. The Social detail is astonishing, and his stiffly
titled Military Experience in the Age of Reason will have a wide
readership outside the regimental library. No one involved with the
period, whether novelist, film maker, politician, or indeed
psychologist, should fail to consult it ' - Country Life
