Reviews
'David Parrott's sparkling and deeply-considered study is a seminal contribution to the history of warfare and government in all periods, and reveals that 'military outsourcing' was normal long before the Iraq War brought it into the headlines. Highly original in argument and notably lively in presentation, it will become a modern classic.' Hamish Scott, University of Glasgow, "...Parrott has written a refreshing work, replete with evidence that may be new to many readers of early modern military history." -David R. Lawrence, Michigan War Studies Review, 'David Parrott deftly explores the various shades of grey in the public private partnership between early modern state and military entrepreneurs. He proves that more often than not private enterprise simply did perform more efficiently than the state.' Lothar Hbelt, University of Vienna, 'This splendid survey prompts many further questions â€¦ but the history of early modern warfare will never look the same again.' History Today, "The book is well crafted, articulate, and painstakingly researched." -David Anderson, Military Review, "A ground breaking study of mercenaries and military entrepreneurs in early modern Europe." -StrategyPage, "David Parrott deftly explores the various shades of grey in the public private partnership between early modern state and military entrepreneurs. He proves that more often than not private enterprise simply did perform more efficiently than the state." -Lothar Höbelt, University of Vienna, "...the present volume offers an eloquent, fresh interpretation of the military revolution and the relationship between warfare and nation-state development in early modern Europe." -Jamie L.H. Goodall, EH.Net, "David Parrott's sparkling and deeply-considered study is a seminal contribution to the history of warfare and government in all periods, and reveals that 'military outsourcing' was normal long before the Iraq War brought it into the headlines. Highly original in argument and notably lively in presentation, it will become a modern classic." -Hamish Scott, University of Glasgow
