{"product_id":"imperial-state-at-war","title":"Imperial State at War","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe study of eighteenth century history has been transformed by the writings of John Brewer, and most recently, with \u003cem\u003eThe Sinews of Power\u003c\/em\u003e, he challenged the central concepts of British history. Brewer argues that the power of the British state increased dramatically when it was forced to pay the costs of war in defence of her growing empire. In \u003cem\u003eAn Imperial State at War\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by Lawrence Stone (himself no stranger to controversy), the leading historians of the eighteenth century put the Brewer thesis under the spotlight. Like the\u003cem\u003e Sinews of Power\u003c\/em\u003e itself, this is a major advance in the study of Britain's first empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240724386136,"sku":"9780415513296","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415513296.jpg?v=1768569335","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/imperial-state-at-war","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
