Motivation in War is one of the most important studies of the eighteenth century published in recent years, with implications which range far beyond armies and military history' Hamish Scott, Journal of Social History '... this is an impressive first monograph from an extremely adept and promising military historian. Berkovich's argument is thoughtful, compelling, and bold.' Joe Cozens, Reviews in History 'This fine book deserves to be widely known and posted to course reading lists on the history of armies everywhere.' Gregory Hanlon, The Journal of Military History
