Bücher von Michael (University of Birmingham Snape

Analyzing military sources, religious publications and personal memoirs, this book challenges widely-held views and presents the most comprehensive study available of the role of religion in the army during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Drawing on material from military, ecclesiastical and secular civilian archives, this work presents a study of the experience of the officers and men of Britain's vast citizen armies, and also of the numerous religious agencies which ministered to them. It is useful for students and scholars of military history, British history, and religion.
