Gentlemen of the Blade: A Social and Literary History of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brodsky, G. W. Stephen / Stephen Brodsky, G. W., PUBLISHER: Greenwood Press, Brodsky contends that three factors--constitutional, commercial, ong>anong>d technological--in turn, have caused Britain to raise large citizen forces.
