War in the 18th century was a complex operation, including popular as well as conventional conflict, between Europeans and with non-Europeans. These conflicts influenced European intellectuals and contributed to the complexity of Enlightenment thought. While Enlightenment writers regarded war as the greatest evil confronting mankind, they had little hope that it could be eliminated, thus, peace proposals of the day were joined by more realistic discussion of the means by which war might be limited or rendered more humane. In this book, Starkey considers the influence of ideas and values on the actions of Enlightenment military personnel.
