By examining the preferences of some forty-two officers who served between the War
of the Spanish Succession and the French Revolution, Gruber shows that by the middle
of the eighteenth century British officers were discriminating in their choices of
books on war and, further, that their emerging preference for Continental books affected
their understanding of warfare and their conduct of operations in the American Revolution.
