Summary:"The book seeks to explain the development of the army between the end of Cardinal Mazarin's ministry and the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession. During this period the army was reshaped, not simply through the assurance of an adequate money supply, the promulgation of reforming edicts and the imposition of tighter ministerial control. Of even greater significance was the awareness of Louis XIV and his ministers of the need to pay careful attention to the condition of the king's officers, and to take account of those officers' military, political, social and cultural aspirations."--BOOK JACKET.
