War, Trade and the Balance of Power in Europe, 1648–1813
The miraculous rise and fall of the Dutch military during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Dutch Republic exerted significant global influence through military might, yet at the turn of the nineteenth century, almost overnight, Napoleon wiped the nation from the political map. Military Power and the Dutch Republic offers a tactical and logistical explanation for both the “miracle” of Dutch power as well as its swift demise.
